  9D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

  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.

  Evangelista notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Blues. This was Evangelista's second helper over the last seven games. The winger hasn't made much of an impact from the third line lately. He's at 34 points (seven on the power play), 145 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 74 appearances on the year. Evangelista's power-play role gives him some fantasy upside, but he's yet to turn that into positive results on a consistent basis.
