Thomas Novak, NSH vs, OTT (1% rostererd)
Josh Norris, OTT @ NSH (32% rostered)
With just one game on the roster, a fantasy player might think that the options are limited. Not so far, as each team on the ice in Nashville has a solid option available. Novak has moved from center to wing on the third line and is not seeing a ton of ice, but he is making the best of it. He has posted four goals and four assists over his last seven outings, though this hot streak has only upped his season totals to nine and eight in 42 contests. That output is a major decline from the 43 and 45 points he posed the last two seasons.
Norris left Saturday's game with an injury, so keep an eye on his status prior to Monday's contest. He has picked up his scoring pace, notching five goals and four assists his 10 last games, moving his season numbers to 19 markers and 12 helpers in 50 games. That total almost mirrors what Norris posted last season with the major difference his rise in 2024-25 from 86 to 126 hits.
Defensemen
Brady Skjei, NSH vs. OTT (43% rostered)
The concerns that Skjei's rise in production the last few seasons were due to the Carolina system looked more than accurate early this season. He has two multi-point efforts over his last four appearances and has racked up six points (two goals, four assists) over his past six games. Roll that back and do the math and you will see that Skjei then posted just 13 points his 45 games as a Predator after signing a seven-year, $49 million contract with Nashville last July.
