Roman Josi - Nets lone goal in loss Josi scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.
Impact Josi scored midway through the second period, but that was all Nashville could muster against Jesper Wallstedt. The 36-year-old Josi is once again poised to serve as the Predators' top blueliner. He produced 55 points, 181 shots on net, 101 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 68 appearances in 2025-26. While age-related regression is a risk, some of Josi's best work has come since he entered his 30s, though staying healthy will be an important factor in his production.

Nick Foligno - Finds twine in win Foligno scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Predators.
Impact Foligno tallied the opening goal of the season for the Wild. The 38-year-old winger is set to be a fixture on the fourth line alongside his brother, Marcus Foligno, and center Michael McCarron. That trio will be one of the most physically imposing lines in the league, though it's the toughness that will stand out more than the scoring. The elder Foligno was limited to 15 points over 54 regular-season contests between Minnesota and Chicago last year, though he also added 44 PIM and 129 hits.

Kirill Kaprizov - Adds insurance tally Kaprizov scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Predators.
Impact Kaprizov tallied in the third period to produce the final score. The 29-year-old winger has topped a point-per-game pace in each of the last five campaigns and has reached the 40-goal mark in four of those years, so he's as steady as they come for fantasy, as long as he avoids injuries. Keep Kaprizov firmly in your lineups as an elite winger who can also pile up shots and power-play points.
