Penguins' Philip Tomasino: Headed to Steel City
Philip 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
Philip Tomasino recorded an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.With the Nashville 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
Philip 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: First career two-goal game
Philip Tomasino scored two goals Thursday in a 4-2 victory over the Flyers.It was Tomasino's first career multi-goal game. His second goal was pure skill -- he took a quick pass and ripped a shot over Samuel Ersson's blocker shoulder. The goal stood as the winner. It took Tomasino 23 games to get his first goal and now he has two in one contest and three in his last three games. He also has four points (three goals, one assist) in his last four games. Tomasino has been slow to develop and is behind his pace from last season, but he bears watching to see if this little run boosts his confidence.

Predators' Philip Tomasino: Keeps piling up helpers
Philip Tomasino notched an assist for the sixth time in eight games in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.Despite playing mostly on the Preds' fourth line, Tomasino has a nice little hot streak going. He's seeing some time on the second power-play unit, where he's averaging two minutes per game. The 22-year-old Mississauga native makes for a nice waiver pickup candidate in deeper leagues at the moment.

Predators' Philip Tomasino: Nets first goal of season
Philip Tomasino found the back of the net in a 6-3 loss to Winnipeg on Thursday.Tomasino earned his first tally and second point in seven appearances this season. The 22-year-old has been a healthy scratch in six of Nashville's last nine contests, so his fantasy value is minimal at this time. Perhaps his goal Thursday will at least motivate the Nashville Predators to keep him in the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.
