Rotowire
Sissons scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Colorado.
Sissons found the back of the net within the first minute of the third period, and his goal forced the overtime period. It was only his second point of the season, although both have been goals across his last five appearances. Even if he's trending in the right direction, the 31-year-old isn't producing enough to be worth a roster spot in most formats.

Predators' Colton Sissons: Tallies first goal of season
Rotowire
Sissons scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Sissons put the Predators ahead 2-1 when he tipped home a Marc Del Gaizo shot at 18:40 of the second period. The tally was Sissons' first point in 11 appearances this year. The 30-year-old was moved down to the fourth line at even strength Saturday, but he still saw 14:53 of ice time -- he's a strong defensive forward and will earn more minutes than the average bottom-six forward because of that. He's produced 10 shots on net, 18 hits, 11 blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-10 rating so far, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Sissons stay on the fourth line for a while after he's struggled in the middle six.

Predators' Colton Sissons: Offense absent early in season
Rotowire
Sissons has not recorded a point through the Predators' first 10 games of the season.
Heading into the campaign, there was a competition between Sissons and Thomas Novak for the second-line center spot, but neither forward has seized on the opportunity yet. Sissons' struggles are a product of the Predators' slow start as a team -- they're 3-6-1 with just 24 goals scored so far. The 30-year-old defensive forward has logged a minus-12 rating, eight shots on net, 17 hits, 10 blocked shots and four PIM while seeing middle-six usage. Considering he's topped out at 35 points in a single season (2023-24), most fantasy managers won't need to turn to Sissons for help anyway.

Sissons tied the game at 1-1 with his fifth goal of the season. The 29-year-old has yet to pick up an assist, but he's been quite effective as a depth scorer in a middle-six role. He's added 23 shots on net, 17 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over nine contests. Sissons doesn't receive power-play time, and it's unlikely he'd be able to maintain his 27.8 shooting percentage even if he had more favorable usage.
