Luke Evangelista - Strong rookie season continues Evangelista registered an assist on three shots in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Don't look now, but the 21-year-old Evangelista is currently tied for third in the NHL's rookie scoring race with nine points in 14 games. He's currently skating on the team's second line alongside Thomas Novak and Kiefer Sherwood with an average TOI of 15:33, including 3:22 on the power play. Given that he's currently on pace to crack the 50-point mark this season, he makes for a very attractive waiver-wire pickup in most formats.

Thomas Novak - Continues to shine Novak provided two assists -- including a power-play helper -- in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Nashville's third-round pick (No. 85 overall) is showing remarkable progression in the NHL. Specifically, Novak has cashed in six goals and six assists with half of his point total on the man advantage through 14 games. The Preds are in last place within the Central Division, but this 26-year-old pivot doesn't seemed to be bogged down by the overall team struggles. It will be tough for him to sustain an otherworldly shooting percentage of 23.1, though.

Gustav Nyquist - Two assists in high-scoring affair Nyquist supplied two assists in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Nyquist has just one goal early this season, but the veteran winger's fantasy value is propped a bit by seven helpers -- including three on the power play -- through 14 games. Nyquist is averaging 15:37 of ice time in his first season with Nashville which is slightly under his 12-year career average of 16;52 between five clubs.

Travis Boyd - Supplies assist in win Boyd posted an assist in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Predators.

Impact Boyd was in the lineup with Jack McBain (lower body) out on a week-to-week basis. McBain's injury may help steady Boyd's playing time, though the 30-year-old has often been limited to fourth-line duties when he plays. Despite the small role, Boyd has four assists, nine shots on net, five blocked shots, four hits and two PIM through eight appearances, making the most of the minutes he's given.

Matt Dumba - Gets on scoresheet with helper Dumba produced an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Predators.

Impact Dumba got on the scoresheet for the first time since the Coyotes' season opener. The 29-year-old defenseman hasn't been able to reignite his scoring spark in Arizona, with Sean Durzi and Janis Moser getting most of the good offensive minutes on the Coyotes' blue line. Dumba is at two points, 21 shots on net, 21 hits, 20 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 14 appearances in a top-four role, though he's been under 20 minutes in five straight games.

Barrett Hayton - Helps out on empty-netter Hayton logged an assist in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Predators.

Impact Hayton has just two points this season, but they've come over the last three games. The 23-year-old center's slow start, combined with the success of fellow pivots Logan Cooley and Nick Bjugstad, makes it surprising to see Hayton is still on the top line. Hayton has added 29 shots on net, eight blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-3 rating -- a little more puck luck could go a long way to improving his offense.

J.J. Moser - Dishes pair of helpers Moser recorded two assists, four blocked shots, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Predators.

Impact Moser set up tallies by Troy Stecher and Michael Carcone in the high-scoring contest. Through six outings in November, Moser has produced a goal and four helpers. It's an improvement on his production from October -- the defenseman is at seven points, a plus-6 rating, 12 shots on net, 12 hits and 19 blocked shots through 14 contests overall.
