Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Records helper in win
Rotowire
Marchessault notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.
Marchessault has four points over nine outings in November, and his helper Sunday ended a three-game slump. The 33-year-old is still searching for consistency nearing the quarter pole of the campaign. He's at three goals, seven helpers, 57 shots on net, 32 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 19 appearances. Marchessault can probably expect positive regression from his 5.3 shooting percentage, but he'll still be hard-pressed to get back to the 60-point mark after this slow start.

Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Tallies on power play in loss
Rotowire
Marchessault scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
This was Marchessault's first goal in four games to begin the year. Two of his three points have come with the man advantage.

More changes may be ahead after the Predators suffered their fourth straight loss. Marchessault has added 17 shots on net, seven hits and a minus-2 rating and should continue to be a fixture on the first power-play unit.
