Penguins' Thomas Novak: Buries goal in win
Novak scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.
Novak's tally tied the game at 2-2 late in the second period. The 28-year-old has earned four points over the last five games and has looked capable in handling a larger role while the Penguins' forward group is depleted by absences. Novak now has 15 goals, 37 points, 104 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 66 appearances. He's on pace to top the 40-point mark for the third time in his four full NHL campaigns.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: OT hero against Bruins
Novak scored the overtime winner and added an assist in Sunday's 5-4 victory over Boston.
After helping to set up an Anthony Mantha tally in the third period, Novak capped a comeback from a 3-0 deficit by snapping a one-timer past Joonas Korpisalo. Novak is beginning to look more comfortable in a top-six role while Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension) are unavailable. Through 10 games since the beginning of February, Novak has produced five goals and eight points.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Pots power-play goal Saturday
Novak scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Novak had been limited to one assist over his previous four outings. The Penguins are thin up front right now with Sidney Crosby (lower body) hurt and Evgeni Malkin (suspension) sidelined, so Novak has an opportunity to take on a larger role despite the weakened supporting cast. The 28-year-old Novak has done a fine job so far with 13 goals, 34 points (seven on the power play), 95 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 62 appearances this season.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Opens scoring on power play
Novak scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Devils.
Novak has a four-game point streak to start February, earning three goals and an assist in that span. The Penguins are likely to take a balanced approach to distributing ice time while Sidney Crosby (lower body) is out for at least four weeks. Novak got top billing on the lineup sheet Thursday, but look for Ben Kindel to also see a boost in ice time. Novak has 12 goals, 20 helpers, 87 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 57 appearances this season.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Puts away goal
Novak scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Novak has two goals and an assist over three games in February. The 28-year-old center stretched the Penguins' lead to 4-2 in the third period to fend off any comeback effort for the Sabres. Novak is up to 11 goals, 31 points, 85 shots on net, 22 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 56 appearances this season. He should continue to offer decent upside on offense in a second-line role.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Lights lamp in loss
Novak scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa.
Novak's tally midway through Monday's final period tied the game at two goals apiece before Ottawa's Claude Giroux scored the game-winner six minutes later. Novak's tally brings him up to 10 goals on the season to go along with 29 points and 81 shots on net across 54 games. The goal helped him secure his fourth consecutive campaign reaching the double-digit goal mark. His first full season in Pittsburgh has taken a step up as of late with eight points over his last nine games. His role centering the team's second line alongside Yegor Chinakhov and Evgeni Malkin has elevated the 28-year-old's ceiling in fantasy, giving Novak decent streaming value in deep leagues. Look for him to challenge his career high of 45 points by the end of the regular season.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Earns two points in win
Novak scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two PIM and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Novak snapped a seven-game goal drought with his third-period tally. The 28-year-old forward has earned five points over his last four outings and should stick on the second line as long as his offense is steady. He's up to nine goals, 26 points, 74 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 49 appearances this season.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Two apples keep doctor away
Novak picked up two assists Thursday in a 6-3 victory over the Flyers.
The second-line forward picked up his first points in five games. Novak has six points (two goals, four assists) in his last 14 games and 23 (eight goals, 15 assists) in 46 games this season. He doesn't deliver hits, blocks or PIM, so his fantasy value is limited.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Tallies PP goal Sunday
Novak scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Novak has found the back of the net in two of his last four games. The second-line center hasn't been very productive, however, and this was only his eighth goal of the campaign. He's netted three of those eight goals on the power play while posting 21 points in 41 contests. He's on pace to reach the 40-point plateau for the first time since the 2023-24 campaign.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Goal, assist in win
Novak scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Novak earned his first multi-point effort since Dec. 16. The 28-year-old is building chemistry centering Anthony Mantha and Justin Brazeau, though Novak is a placeholder in that spot until Evgeni Malkin (upper body) can return. Novak has contributed seven goals, 13 assists, 57 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 38 outings this season.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Two points Tuesday
Novak recorded a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Oilers.
Novak snapped a two-game pointless drought and a three-game goalless skid with this two-point effort Tuesday. It was his first multi-point performance since delivering two helpers in a win over the Lightning on Dec. 4. Novak has been productive this season, collecting 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) across 32 games. He might have some upside as a streaming option in deeper formats if he gets back on track offensively.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Pots another goal
Novak scored a goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Novak has three goals and two assists during a four-game point streak to open December. He's at five goals, 14 points, 40 shots and a minus-2 rating through 28 outings overall. His strong play recently has opened the door for him to see top-six minutes, and that's enough to also get him on the fantasy radar until his offense fades.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Scores in loss to Dallas
Novak scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars.
Novak gave the Penguins a 2-1 lead in the second period with a tip-in, but the Stars would mount a late comeback to win it in the shootout. This was Novak's fourth goal of the season, but he's riding a productive stretch. He has six points over his last five outings, accounting for two goals and four assists in that stretch.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Stays warm with two assists
Novak logged a pair of assists, including one on the power play, and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Lightning.
Novak has five points over his last four games. The 28-year-old saw just 11:21 of ice time Thursday, but he made the most of it, helping out on goals by Ville Koivunen and Evgeni Malkin. Novak has 12 points (four on the power play), 33 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 26 outings. He's showed 40-point potential in the past, and while he may not play at that level for all of 2025-26, he could help fantasy managers in deep formats.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Buries power-play goal in win
Novak scored a power-play goal in Monday's 5-1 win over the Flyers.
Novak has three points over his last three games. He's been on the second line in recent contests, which could be a spot that allows him to maintain decent offense. He's more of a supporting player on this team with three goals, 10 points, 33 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 25 appearances this season.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Generates two helpers
Novak logged two assists in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Novak snapped a five-game point drought with the effort. The 28-year-old set up Sidney Crosby's game-tying goal in the third period and Kris Letang's game-winner in overtime. Novak has played a supporting role in the middle six this year, earning nine points, 30 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 23 appearances. He was on the second line in this contest, and if he can play well with Evgeni Malkin, Novak could stick in that spot for a while.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Opens scoring in loss
Novak scored a goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.
Novak opened the scoring at 8:48 of the first period. This was just his second goal of the year, though he produced a decent four assists over nine contests between tallies. The 28-year-old is up to seven points, 22 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating while filling a middle-six role.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Gets first goal in black and gold
Novak scored a power-play goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.
Novak got his first goal in nine total games as a Penguin, including seven this season. He has added an assist, 10 shots on net, five blocked shots, three hits and a minus-1 rating this campaign. The 28-year-old forward is filling a winger spot on the third line and also plays on the second power-play unit, but he's got a lot to prove before being trusted to help provide scoring depth in fantasy.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Good to go for first practice
Novak (lower body) is not listed among the injured players on the Penguins' training camp roster released Wednesday.
Novak was sidelined for over a month to end the 2024-25 season. He had 22 points over 54 contests between the Penguins and the Predators last year. Novak is set to fill a middle-six role, but it remains to be seen if he'll primarily work as the third-line center or a second-line winger early in 2025-26.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Done for season
Novak (lower body) will miss the remainder of the season, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports Thursday.
Novak has been out of action since March 9. He ends the 2024-25 campaign with 13 goals and nine assists over 52 games with Nashville, and he was shut out in two games with the Penguins after being traded at the deadline.
