Predators' Cody Bass: Serving mostly as healthy scratch
Cody Bass did not play Thursday against the Senators, marking the second time in the last four games he has served as a healthy scratch.Bass was known primarily as an enforcer during his time in the AHL the past two seasons (249 PIM in 99 combined games), so his value in the NHL has rapidly been decreasing as the 'tough guy' type has slowly been disappearing from the league.

Cody Bass (upper body) was taken off injured reserve Tuesday and will suit up against Colorado, Adam Vingan of The Tennessean reports.Bass has logged just two games so far this season, averaging just under seven minutes of ice time in those contests. When on the ice, the veteran can be classified as an enforcer, as evidenced by his 84 PIM for AHL Milwaukee last season. The winger has not scored a point in an NHL game since 2011-12 with Columbus, so it may be best to pursue other fantasy options.
