L'Heureux was traded along with Fedor Svechkov to Colorado from Nashville on Wednesday in exchange for Jack Drury, Chase Bradley and a 2029 third-round pick.
L'Heureux had four goals, five points, 21 PIM and 64 hits in 25 regular-season appearances with Nashville in 2025-26. The 23-year-old also had 14 goals, 28 points and 65 PIM in 30 regular-season outings with AHL Milwaukee. Although his physical play gives him the potential to be a great source of PIM and hits, L'Heureux might have to compete for a regular role in Colorado's bottom six.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Tallies in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
L'Heureux scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Ducks.
L'Heureux has three goals over his last six games. The 22-year-old saw some top-line usage in that span, but he was on the third line for Tuesday's contest, which is likely a better fit for his physical playing style. He's at four goals, 26 shots on net, 56 hits, 21 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 21 appearances this season.
L'Heureux scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.
L'Heureux saw a season-high 16:55 of ice time in a top-line twirl. The 22-year-old has mostly played in the bottom six this season, but he's worth keeping an eye on as long as he's skating with Ryan O'Reilly and Steven Stamkos. L'Heureux is up to three goals, 22 shots on net, 50 hits, 21 PIM and a plus-3 rating across 18 NHL appearances this year.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Scores in loss
Rotowire
L'Heureux scored a goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens.
The 22-year-old has played regularly in March, but this was just his second goal of the season, and his playing time as a bottom-six forward has also been inconsistent. He has 16 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and 45 hits across 16 NHL appearances this campaign.
L'Heureux signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract extension with the Predators on Wednesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
L'Heureux has split time between Nashville and AHL Milwaukee this season, recording 28 points (14 goals, 14 assists) in 28 AHL games while appearing in 10 contests at the NHL level. Selected by Nashville in the first round (27th overall) of the 2021 Draft, the 22-year-old winger produced five goals and 15 points across 62 appearances during his rookie campaign in 2024-25. L'Heureux profiles as a physical bottom-six forward with the ability to chip in offensively, but he'll need to improve his scoring consistency to lock down a full-time NHL role.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Pots first goal of season
Rotowire
L'Heureux scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.
After going without a point in his first five games since being recalled from AHL Milwaukee after the Olympic break, L'Heureux opened the scoring Saturday by snapping a shot past Alex Lyon from the slot early in the second period. The 2021 first-round pick has plenty of skill, producing 14 goals and 28 points in 28 games for Milwaukee this season, but the 22-year-old L'Heureux hasn't been given much of a chance to show it in the NHL yet.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Summoned from minors
Rotowire
L'Heureux was recalled from AHL MIlwaukee by the Predators, the team announced Sunday.
Roster moves are starting to flow a bit more freely league-wide as teams come out of the Olympic break, and among those moves is the recall of L'Heureux by the Predators. The 22-year-old has spent some time in the NHL this season, but he has yet to suit up for a game. He has played well with AHL Milwaukee this season, recording 28 points (14 goals, 14 assists) in 28 games played.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Adds three more points
Rotowire
L'Heureux scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Milwaukee's 5-4 overtime win over Grand Rapids on Tuesday.
L'Heureux has popped off for seven points over his last two games. For the season, he has 18 points in 15 appearances. The 22-year-old drew into 62 NHL games last season, so he probably doesn't have much more to prove at the AHL level.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Four-point effort in AHL win
Rotowire
L'Heureux scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Milwaukee's 7-3 win over Manitoba on Thursday.
L'Heureux has four goals and five assists across seven games with the Admirals since he recovered from a lower-body injury sustained during a stint in the NHL. The 22-year-old could be a candidate for future call-ups, but the Predators seem content to let him continue to play well in the AHL for now. Overall, he's produced 15 points over 14 contests for Milwaukee this season.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Assigned to AHL
Rotowire
L'Heureux (lower body) was loaned to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.
L'Heureux didn't see any playing time with the Predators following his recall from the minors in early November because of a lower-body injury. The 22-year-old forward should see game action in the AHL now that he's healthy.
L'Heureux suffered a lower-body injury and is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks, the team announced Saturday.
L'Heureux was summoned from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday to provide the team with forward depth due to the absence of Cole Smith (upper body). L'Heureux didn't end up dressing in a game for the Predators before sustaining this injury. Nashville will probably recall another player from the minors to serve as the team's new 13th forward.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Elevated from AHL
Rotowire
L'Heureux was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.
Cole Smith (upper body) will be out for multiple weeks, so L'Heureux is poised to provide depth up front with the big club for the time being. The 2021 first-round pick (No. 27 overall) has contributed four goals and six points over seven appearances with the Admirals this campaign. L'Heureux also had five goals and 15 points over 62 outings with the Predators in 2024-25, so he doesn't lack experience at the NHL level.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Goal, assist in AHL win
Rotowire
L'Heureux scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in AHL Milwaukee's 5-3 win over Texas on Saturday.
L'Heureux missed out on the Predators' Opening Night roster after producing 15 points in 62 regular-season appearances in the NHL last season. While the 22-year-old is starting in the AHL this year, he could have his name called in the likely event Brady Martin is sent back to junior hockey in the near future. L'Heureux will be competing with Joakim Kemell, Matthew Wood and David Edstrom as the forwards most likely to get a call-up during 2025-26.
L'Heureux notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
L'Heureux has gotten a top-six look at times in recent games, but with just one goal and two points over his last 15 outings, he's better suited for limited minutes. The physical rookie has 15 points, 76 shots on net, 59 PIM, 192 hits and a minus-5 rating across 60 appearances. Unless his scoring touch improves significantly, he's unlikely to be much of a factor in standard fantasy formats in 2025-26.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Nets lone goal in loss
Rotowire
L'Heureux scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers.
L'Heureux got the Predators on the board at 13:14 of the second period, but Jamie Drysdale gave the Flyers the lead just 34 seconds later. The goal was L'Heureux's first point in nine outings since he returned from an upper-body injury. He's playing in a bottom-six role, so his offense could remain limited. Overall, he has five goals, 14 points, 70 shots on net, 167 hits and 59 PIM across 54 appearances.
L'Heureux (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
L'Heureux appears available to return from a 12-game absence and could play against the Kings on Saturday. He has compiled four goals, 13 points, 56 shots on net, 143 hits and 52 PIM through 45 appearances this season.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Is week-to-week
Rotowire
L'Heureux (upper body) was put on injured reserve Friday and is regarded as week-to-week.
L'Heureux has four goals, 13 points and 145 hits in 45 appearances in 2024-25. He also missed Nashville's last game before the break -- a 6-4 victory over Buffalo on Feb. 8 -- due to the injury. Kieffer Bellows might draw into the lineup during L'Heureux's absence.

Predators' Zachary L'Heureux: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
L'Heureux (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Sabres.
L'Heureux is day-to-day after being hurt Friday against the Blackhawks, and it appears the Predators won't push him with a two-week break on the horizon. Ozzy Wiesblatt was recalled from AHL Milwaukee and will likely fill in as a bottom-six forward. L'Heureux's next chance to play is Feb. 22 versus the Avalanche.
