Predators' Filip Forsberg: Three-game, five-assist streak
Rotowire
Forsberg had two assists Thursday in a 5-4 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.
The points stretched his scoring streak to three games and five assists. Forsberg has seven points, all assists, in his last five games after enduring a six-game point drought. Still, his 24 points in 33 games are a massive disappointment for managers who drafted him with the expectation of anther 90-plus point campaign. Forsberg has a lowly 7.9 shooting percentage this season, which is well below his career mark of 12.8. The points will come, but given Nashville's struggles, we can't see a path where Forsberg gets close to his excellence of 2023-24.

On the season, the 30-year-old winger has nine goals and 22 points in 32 games.

Predators' Filip Forsberg: Dishes pair of helpers
Rotowire
Forsberg logged two assists, three shots on goal, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.
Forsberg helped out on both of Jonathan Marchessault's goals in the game. This effort snapped a six-game slump for Forsberg, his longest drought of the campaign. Prior to that dry spell, the 30-year-old winger had been one of Nashville's few consistent forwards. He's now at 19 points, 101 shots on net, 69 hits and a minus-10 rating over 29 appearances. Forsberg's offense appears to be suffering without Ryan O'Reilly (lower body), who is week-to-week, though the drop-off shouldn't be that severe since Steven Stamkos has filled in as the top-line center.

Predators' Filip Forsberg: Nets goal in loss
Rotowire
Forsberg scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.
Forsberg ended a season-worst six-game goal drought with his first-period tally. He had three assists in that span. The 30-year-old has been one of the Predators' best forwards this season, but that is somewhat hollow praise given the team's poor performance. He has nine goals, eight assists, 78 shots on net, 51 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 22 appearances, a scoring pace well off the mark from his 48-goal, 94-point performance in 82 regular-season outings last year.

Predators' Filip Forsberg: Tips in goal Thursday
Rotowire
Forsberg scored a goal and added four hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
Forsberg has been one of the few Predators who has enjoyed a strong start to the season. He's up to two goals and two assists over four games, in addition to 16 shots on net and 14 hits, after tallying in the first period Thursday. Forsberg has been better than a point-per-game player in two of the last three years, and his line from last year with Ryan O'Reilly and Gustav Nyquist remains untouched. That could change after the Predators dropped to 0-4-0, but Forsberg should find success with any linemates.

Forsberg earned his 10th career NHL hat trick in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks. Two of the goals took place on the power play, and he set a franchise record for most goals in a season with 46.
