Predators' Luke Evangelista: Scores goal in OT loss
Luke Evangelista scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.Evangelista opened the scoring for the Nashville 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.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Snags assist in loss
Luke Evangelista registered an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.Evangelista was originally set to be scratched, but Thomas Novak (upper body) was a late scratch instead. Staying in the lineup allowed Evangelista to snap a five-game point drought when he helped out on a Juuso Parssinen tally in the first period. Through 13 contests, Evangelista has six points, 25 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while averaging 12:32 of ice time. He's still needs to refine his overall game, but he may get a chance to do so in the short term if Novak and Colton Sissons (upper body) are both forced to miss time.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Garners assist
Luke 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.
