  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Unavailable Saturday

    Evangelista (lower body) won't play against Buffalo on Saturday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

    Evangelista will miss his third straight game. He has five goals, 15 points and 79 shots on net across 41 outings this season. Evangelista's next chance to play will be versus Colorado on Feb. 22 after the 4 Nations Face-Off break.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Out again Friday

    Evangelista (lower body) won't play Friday versus the Blackhawks, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

    Evangelista will miss his second straight game with the injury. He's been battling a few lower-body injuries lately, so it's possible the Predators will opt to rest him for Saturday's game against the Sabres as well, with a two-week break set to follow. Joakim Kemell will draw into the lineup Friday for his NHL debut.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Not playing Monday

    Evangelista is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and won't play Monday versus the Senators.

    Evangelista exited Saturday's contest in Pittsburgh and later returned, but he's unable to give it a go Monday. It's a tough break for the right-shot forward, as he recently returned from an eight-game absence due to a lower-body injury. Vinnie Hinostroza will replace Evangelista in the lineup Monday and slot in on the second line alongside Filip Forsberg and Ryan O'Reilly. Evangelista will have a few days to recover before Friday's road game against the Blackhawks.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Scores in return

    Evangelista scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.

    Evangelista missed eight games due to a lower-body injury. He returned in a second-line role and saw 16:21 of ice time as well as a spot on the second power-play unit. His tally snapped a six-game point drought. Evangelista has struggled with consistency this season, as have many of his teammates. The 22-year-old has 15 points, 78 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 40 appearances.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Set to return

    Evangelista (lower body) is set to return to the lineup Friday versus the Sabres, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Not quite ready

    Evangelista (lower body) will not be an option against Vancouver on Wednesday but is "getting close" according to head coach Andrew Brunette, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

    Evangelista returned to practice Wednesday, leading to some speculation that he might be ready to face the Canucks. Instead, the 22-year-old winger will need to wait at least one more game until he rejoins the lineup. Once given the all-clear, Evangelista should slot into a bottom-six role, which could result in Zachary L'Heureux heading back to AHL Milwaukee.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Lands on IR

    Evangelista (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.

    The move appears to be a formality as Evangelista, who's already missed three games, isn't expected back until early February. Adam Wilsby was activated in a corresponding move.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Out four weeks

    Evangelista (lower body) will miss the next four weeks, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports Thursday.

    Evangelista was injured Tuesday against the Jets and the Predators may decide to keep him out a touch longer as his recovery time period is close enough to the NHL break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Evangelista has four goals and 14 points in 39 games, a regression from last season when he managed 16 goals and 23 helpers in 80 regular-season contests.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Exits with lower-body injury

    Evangelista (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Jets.

    Evangelista was originally injured in the first period but returned to the bench in the second. The 22-year-old was then ruled out for the game early in the third. If he can't suit up Saturday against the Capitals, Zachary L'Heureux (suspension) will likely step into the lineup in Evangelista's place.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Buries power-play tally

    Evangelista scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.

    Evangelista has scored twice and added an assist over his last five contests. His goal Thursday was his first power-play point since Oct. 25. The 22-year-old winger has four goals, nine helpers, 61 shots on net, 12 hits, 12 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 31 appearances. Evangelista is likely to remain in a middle-six role throughout the campaign, as he hasn't scored enough to justify a move up the lineup.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Puts away goal in loss

    Evangelista scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

    The goal was Evangelista's first since Nov. 11, which was also a game in Denver. The 22-year-old winger has picked up the pace with four points over his last eight contests, but he remains in a third-line role without much consistency on offense. Evangelista is at 12 points, 53 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 29 appearances.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Nabs helper in loss

    Evangelista logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

    Evangelista has three helpers over seven games since he was last scratched. That's a good sign for the winger's stability in the lineup, though he's not doing enough to draw a lot of fantasy interest. For the season, he's at 11 points, 47 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 27 appearances in a middle-six role.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Produces assist

    Evangelista logged an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.

    Evangelista has been scratched for two of the Predators' last five games, though his path to playing time got easier when the team traded Philip Tomasino to the Penguins. The 22-year-old Evangelista has fallen flat this season with nine points, 41 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 22 contests. He had 39 points in 80 regular-season outings in 2023-24, and he's shooting just 4.9 percent this year, so there's reason for optimism that he'll turn things around, likely as part of a bigger improvement team-wide for Nashville.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Scores goal in OT loss

    Evangelista scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Evangelista opened the scoring for the Predators just 1:45 into the game with a wrister that went past Alexandar Georgiev. The 22-year-old winger endured a rough spell in recent weeks but seems to be trending in the right direction of late, notching points in three of his last four games, with one goal and two assists in that span. However, Evangelista has just two goals in 16 games and owns a shooting percentage of just 6.9 percent, so he needs to be more accurate in front of the goal to have any chance of being a reliable fantasy contributor.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Snags assist in loss

    Evangelista registered an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.

    Evangelista was originally set to be scratched, but Thomas Novak (upper body) was a late scratch instead. Staying in the lineup allowed Evangelista to snap a five-game point drought when he helped out on a Juuso Parssinen tally in the first period. Through 13 contests, Evangelista has six points, 25 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while averaging 12:32 of ice time. He's still needs to refine his overall game, but he may get a chance to do so in the short term if Novak and Colton Sissons (upper body) are both forced to miss time.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Records power-play helper

    Evangelista logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

    Evangelista has done well in a middle-six role this season, and he now has his first power-play point of the campaign. He's on the second unit with the man advantage. The 22-year-old winger is up to one goal, four assists, 14 shots on net, four PIM and a plus-1 rating over seven contests, including three points over his last two outings.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Scores, assists in win over Boston

    Evangelista recorded an empty-net goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.

    Evangelista notched his first goal of the campaign with an empty-netter in the third period when the Bruins were all out on the attack, but before he participated in the build-up that led to Thomas Novak's goal in the second period. This was Evangelista's first multi-point game of the campaign, and the right winger is up to four points through six appearances.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Garners assist

    Evangelista produced an assist in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

    Evangelista set up Thomas Novak's third-period tally. The 22-year-old Evangelista is on the third line to start 2024-25, and barring injuries, he looks to have little chance of attaining steady top-six minutes. The 22-year-old forward produced 39 points, 172 shots on net and 10 power-play points over 80 regular-season games in his first full campaign in 2023-24. He's too skilled to be a traditional third-liner, but with ice time hard to find, there may not be much growth in his offense this season.
