Nosek produced an assist, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
Nosek ended a seven-game point drought when he set up the second of Matthew Tkachuk's tallies Saturday. The former has held down a consistent spot in the bottom six, though Nosek doesn't typically score enough to earn interest in fantasy. He's at four points, 14 shots on net, 20 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 16 outings this season while currently centering the fourth line.

Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Gets on scoresheet with helper
Rotowire
Nosek notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Stars in Finland.
This was Nosek's second game of the season after he missed all of October due to an upper-body injury. He's slotted into a bottom-six role to begin his first year with the Panthers, and given the team's center depth, he's unlikely to get a look higher in the lineup without a move to the wing. He's added one shot on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating over his two appearances.

Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Nearing return to action
Rotowire
Nosek (upper body) looks poised to suit up against the Stars on Friday after head coach Paul Maurice told reporters, "Assuming he gets through the morning skate and feels good, we'll activate him at that time," per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
Nosek will make his season debut after missing the Panthers'' opening 11 games of the campaign. The veteran center will slot into a fourth-line role alongside A.J. Greer and Mackie Samoskevich, a move that will relegate Patrick Giles to the press box. For his part, Nosek saw action in 36 games for New Jersey last year and generated two goals and four assists. Having never topped the 20-point mark in his career, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting a ton of offense out of Nosek this season.

Rotowire

Devils' Tomas Nosek: Stuck on one point
Rotowire
Nosek posted one shot, one blocked shot, one hit and a minus-1 rating in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Nosek had at least 15 points in each of the previous six seasons, split between Vegas and Boston, but he's been unable to find success as a fourth-line winger for the Devils in 2023-24.
