Predators' Alex Huang: Five points in Sunday's win
RotowireHuang scored a goal and added four assists in QMJHL Chicoutimi's 9-1 win over Rimouski on Sunday.
Huang had gone 14 games without a multi-point effort, spanning all of January and February prior to Sunday. This was his second five-point performance of the season. The Nashville prospect has matched his career high of eight goals and has 53 points and a plus-36 rating through 48 appearances this season.

RotowireJosi scored a goal, distributed an assist and placed three shots on net in Switzerland's 4-3 overtime win over Czechia in Olympic round-robin play Sunday.
Josi stole the show in the second period with both of his points occurring late in the period. He struck the back of the net to level the score at 1-1 before sliding the primary helper on Timo Meier's power-play goal to give Switzerland a 2-1 lead headed into the third period. Across round-robin play, Josi is up to three points and eight shots on net across three games. He'll likely be relied upon for more consistent offense if Switzerland is to advance beyond the first round of bracket play in the Olympic tournament.

RotowireSaros made 15 saves Saturday in Team Finland's 11-0 win over Team Italy at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.
Saros backstopped Finland to a 4-1 win over Sweden on Friday. Finland is now in a strong position to earn the wild card with a plus-11 goal differential, and that would mean a bye to the quarterfinals. Saros has played 178:49 in the tournament, the most of any netminder. He's 2-1-0 with a 1.34 GAA and a .946 save percentage through three games at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

RotowireSaros will patrol the crease for Finland against Italy on Saturday at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Saros is coming off a 34-save performance in Friday's 4-1 win over Sweden. He has gone 1-1-0 during the preliminary round for Finland with a 2.02 GAA and a .932 save percentage through two outings.
... See More... See LessPredators' Juuse Saros: Sharp in win over Sweden
RotowireSaros 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 in an impressive performance. ThePredators 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.

RotowireSaros 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 the Finns against their archrivals from Sweden, as another loss will severely hurt their chances of qualifying for the quarterfinals.

RotowireSaros 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.

RotowireSaros 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 thePredators, 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.
... See More... See LessPredators' Cameron Reid: Racks up three assists
RotowireReid 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.
... See More... See LessPredators' Reid Schaefer: Returned to Milwaukee
RotowireSchaefer 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.
... See More... See LessPredators' Michael McCarron: Buries another goal
RotowireMcCarron 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.
... See More... See LessPredators' Jonathan Marchessault: Warming trend continues
RotowireMarchessault 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 LessPredators' Adam Wilsby: Five apples in last six games
RotowireWilsby 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.
... See More... See LessPredators' Justus Annunen: Scuffles continue
RotowireAnnunen 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.
... See More... See LessPredators' Matthew Wood: Sent down Thursday
RotowireWood 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.
... See More... See LessPredators' Nick Perbix: Pockets helper
RotowirePerbix 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.
... See More... See LessPredators' Jonathan Marchessault: Gathers pair of helpers
RotowireMarchessault 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.
... See More... See LessPredators' Ryan O'Reilly: Distributes three assists
RotowireO'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.
... See More... See LessPredators' Luke Evangelista: Finds twine Wednesday
RotowireEvangelista 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.
