• Predators' Luke Evangelista: Buries power-play tally

  17H ago • By RotoWire

  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.

  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

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  11/12/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.
