Top Predators News

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Sharp in win over Sweden

    Saros made 34 saves in Finland's 4-1 win over Sweden in Olympic round-robin action Friday.

    A Rasmus Dahlin power-play tally was the only puck to get past Saros is an impressive performance. The Predators netminder has allowed four goals on 59 shots through two Olympic outings, but he could get a breather Saturday against Italy, with Joonas Korpisalo or Kevin Lankinen getting the nod for Finland instead.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Facing Sweden

    Saros will be between the pipes versus Sweden on Friday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Finnish reporter Ville Touro.

    Saros will make his second start for Finland after allowing three goals on 24 shots in a 4-1 loss to Slovakia on Wednesday. Saros is 21-17-5 with a 3.20 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 44 appearances for Nashville this season. It's a must-win game for Finland against their archrivals from Sweden, as another loss will severely hurt their chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Gives up three in Olympic debut

    Saros stopped 21 of 24 shots in Finland's 4-1 loss to Slovakia on Wednesday in the preliminary round of the 2026 Winter Olympics. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Saros was beaten twice by Juraj Slafkovsky and once by Dalibor Dvorsky before Adam Ruzicka closed things out late in the third with an empty-netter. Joonas Korpisalo and Kevin Lankinen are the other goalies on the Finnish roster, with their next game coming against Sweden on Friday.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Set to face Slovakia

    Saros will be between the pipes for Team Finland's game against Slovakia on Wednesday in the preliminary round of the 2026 Winter Olympics, Shawn Roarke of NHL.com reports.

    As expected, Saros will get the starting nod over Joonas Korpisalo and Kevin Lankinen. The 30-year-old Saros has been struggling of late with the Predators, allowing at least three goals in nine straight games while going 4-2-2 in that span. The Finns are heavy favorites heading into Wednesday's matchup against the Slovaks -- the disparity in the talent up front between the two teams is substantial.

  • Predators' Cameron Reid: Racks up three assists

    Reid notched three assists in OHL Kitchener's 6-2 win over Guelph on Friday.

    Reid had gone eight games without a multi-point effort, earning two goals and three assists in that span. The defenseman is at a point-per-game pace after Friday's performance, with 12 goals and 28 assists through 40 contests this season. That's the best pace of his career, and it's a positive sign as the 18-year-old continues to develop in the OHL.

  • Predators' Reid Schaefer: Returned to Milwaukee

    Schaefer was loaned to AHL Milwaukee on Friday.

    Schaefer has played 27 games in his first season in the NHL, tallying four goals and adding two assists. The 22-year-old, who was selected 32nd overall in the opening round of the 2022 NHL Draft, will get in some extra playing time with the Admirals, with whom he had six goals and 12 assists in 21 appearances earlier in the season.

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Buries another goal

    McCarron scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.

    McCarron has three goals over his last five games. That's a pretty good pace for a defensive forward, though it won't last. He's up to five goals, 12 points, 83 shots on net, 157 hits, 56 blocked shots, 69 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 56 appearances this season. McCarron needs two more points to match his 74-game total from last year.

  • Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Warming trend continues

    Marchessault scored a goal in a 4-2 loss to the Capitals on Thursday.

    Marchessault's overall numbers (10 goals, seven assists; 38 games) fail to impress. But there has been some warmth to this game during this cold January and February. Marchessault has seven points, including three goals, in his last eight games. He has 27 shots in that span.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Predators' Adam Wilsby: Five apples in last six games

    Wilsby delivered two assists Thursday in a 4-2 loss to Washington.

    Willsby has five assists and 10 shots in his last six games. He has no goals in 19 games and just one on the season (43 games). Willsby is not a significant contributor in muscle categories, so his deep-league value is slim to none.

  • Predators' Justus Annunen: Scuffles continue

    Annunen made 26 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Capitals on Thursday.

    Annunen is 5-7-2 with a 3.23 GAA and .886 save percentage in 13 starts (18 appearances) this season. He doesn't get enough games behind Juuse Saros to make him an appealing option in net, and his ratios make him a sketchy spot starter in daily formats. Annunen is 1-2-1 in his last three starts (five appearances). He allowed 14 goals in those three starts, including a seven-goal debacle against Vegas on Jan. 17.

  • Predators' Matthew Wood: Sent down Thursday

    Wood was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.

    Wood will continue playing regularly at the AHL level during the NHL's Olympic break. The 20-year-old has earned 17 points, 68 shots on net and 36 hits over 46 NHL appearances this season.

  • Predators' Nick Perbix: Pockets helper

    Perbix logged an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

    Perbix ended a 16-game slump with the helper. The 27-year-old defenseman had 14 shots on net and 15 blocked shots over that span while seeing steady top-four minutes. He's produced just nine points with 54 shots, 55 blocks, 14 PIM, 24 hits and a minus-13 rating over 53 outings this season, which is production too low to help in most fantasy formats.

  • Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Gathers pair of helpers

    Marchessault notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Wild.

    Marchessault has four assists over his last four games, and his power-play helper Wednesday was his first contribution with the man advantage since Dec. 13 versus the Avalanche. The winger was on the second line after a long stint on the third line following his return from a lower-body injury. He's at 16 points, 85 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-18 rating over 37 appearances this season.

  • Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Distributes three assists

    O'Reilly recorded three assists, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

    O'Reilly has five points over two games in February. The 34-year-old is up to a total of 20 goals, 36 helpers, 101 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 56 appearances. He's on track to reach the 70-point mark for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign with the Blues, when he had a career-high 77 points in 82 appearances. He may not be able to keep up a point-per-game pace this year, as he's shooting a career-high 19.8 percent.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Finds twine Wednesday

    Evangelista scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

    Evangelista snapped a seven-game goal drought with his second-period tally. The winger still had seven assists during that span, and he's played well generally in a top-six role this season. He's up to eight goals, 42 points, 121 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 55 appearances.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Predators' Erik Haula: Tallies in overtime loss

    Haula scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

    Haula has a goal and two assists over his last three games. The 34-year-old forward is up to nine goals, 28 points, 88 shots on net, 70 hits, 34 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-16 rating over 56 outings this season. He's mostly played in a second-line role, and he could take run at the 40-point mark for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Predators' Roman Josi: Two points in overtime loss

    Josi scored a goal on eight shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

    Josi has seven multi-point efforts over his last 12 games, including in each of his last three outings. That's a lot of momentum for him to take into his time with Switzerland at the Olympics, where he'll likely lead his country's blue line. The 35-year-old has 11 goals and 39 points in 44 outings this season, topping his totals from 53 games last year. He's added 124 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating in 2025-26.

  • Predators' Filip Forsberg: Another two-point outing

    Forsberg recorded a power-play goal and a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

    This was Forsberg's third consecutive game with two points, and he's cracked the scoresheet in eight of his last 10 contests. The star winger also extended his scoring streak to four games, and with 24 goals and 23 assists, he's well on pace to hover around the 70-point mark if he stays healthy. Forsberg has reached that threshold in three of his last four seasons.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Predators' Steven Stamkos: Three points in OT loss

    Stamkos recorded a power-play goal and two even-strength assists in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

    Stamkos will have another chance to continue his impressive streak Thursday against the Capitals. Still, the veteran forward is entering the Olympic break on a hot streak since he has cracked the scoresheet in six of his last seven contests, tallying 11 points (seven goals, four assists) in that span. Stamkos had a slow start to the campaign, but the star winger has been scorching hot of late. He has 18 points (10 goals, eight helpers) in 17 games since the beginning of January.
