Marchessault scored two goals, including the game-winner, in Wednesday's 6-4 preseason win over the Hurricanes.
The veteran winger potted the final two tallies for the Predators in the contest, with fellow offseason acquisition Steven Stamkos setting up the winner late in the second period. Marchessault lit the lamp a career-high 42 times in 2023-24 during his final season with Vegas, but skating with Stamkos at even strength and on the power play could allow him to repeat that level of performance in his Nashville debut.
