• Penguins' Philip Tomasino: Headed to Steel City

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Tomasino was traded to Pittsburgh from Nashville on Monday in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick. At just 23 years of age, Tomasino certainly fits the bill as part of general manager Kyle Dubas' goal of getting younger. The 23-year-old natural center has played in 11 games for the Predators this season in which he generated one assist, 10 hits and 17 shots on goal while averaging 11:18 of ice time. With his new club, Tomasino should be in the mix for a bottom-six role, though he is far from a lock for the lineup on a nightly basis and could be a healthy scratch periodically.

• Predators' Philip Tomasino: Gets first point of season

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Tomasino recorded an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals. With the Predators still struggling to put good performances together, Tomasino was given a chance in the lineup after a seven-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old could have a longer run in the lineup since Thomas Novak (upper body) and Colton Sissons (upper body) are both questionable to play Thursday versus the Panthers and beyond. Tomasino has just one assist with six shots on net and four hits over five outings this season, so fantasy managers will want to see more offense out of him.

• Predators' Philip Tomasino: Lacking playing time

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Tomasino was a healthy scratch for the sixth game in a row when he sat out Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche. Tomasino began the campaign in a bottom-six role, but he appears to have been leapfrogged by Zachary L'Heureux. In his four appearances, Tomasino has just five shots on net, two hits and a minus-2 rating while averaging 9:27 of ice time. He'll likely get another look eventually, but his 32-point rookie campaign from 2021-22 is starting to look more and more like an anomaly.

• Predators' Philip Tomasino: Nabs one-year pact

  09/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tomasino secured a one-year, $825,000 deal from Nashville on Wednesday. Tomasino was only a part-time player with the Predators last season, logging 41 regular-season games in which he generated seven goals and 13 assists, including four power-play points. With the 23-year-old center now under contract, he should be in the mix for a spot in the bottom six -- though he may have to split his time between the NHL and AHL this season.
