NASHVILLE PREDATORS NEWS

Justin Barron - Shifted to IR Barron (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Friday and is considered week-to-week.

Impact Barron has already been out of action for the Preds' last seven contests and doesn't appear to be close to returning. Considering the 24-year-old blueliner has managed just four points in 19 outings this year, his absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers. Even once given the all-clear, Barron could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

Ozzy Wiesblatt - Lands on injured reserve Wiesblatt (upper body) is expected to miss 8-10 weeks and has been placed on injured reserve Friday.

Impact Based on his timeline, Wiesblatt likely will be out of action through the Olympic break in February, though it's possible he gets into a game or two before then. IN 24 outings this year, the 23-year-old winger has tallied one goal on 22 shots, three assists and 60 hits while averaging 10:38 of ice time. Tyson Jost figures to see the biggest uptick in ice time with Wiesblatt out of action.

Steven Stamkos - Nets overtime winner Stamkos scored a goal, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Panthers.

Impact Stamkos has four goals and two assists over his last five contests while going plus-4 in that span. The 35-year-old's offense has been sparked by a move up to the top line, where he's found some chemistry with Ryan O'Reilly. Stamkos is now at eight goals, three helpers, 50 shots on net, 21 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-8 rating across 27 appearances.

Ryan O'Reilly - Sparks comeback win in Florida O'Reilly produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Panthers.

Impact With the Predators down 1-0 midway through the third period, the veteran center banged a puck past Sergei Bobrovsky from in close to tie it. O'Reilly then got the puck back to Steven Stamkos on the rush with less than a minute left in OT for the winner. O'Reilly has three multi-point performances in the last five games, a stretch in which he's popped for three goals and eight points -- double his production from the prior 12 contests (one goal, four points).

Juuse Saros - Sharp in OT win Saros made 30 saves in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Panthers.

Impact Carter Verhaeghe got a puck past Saros late in the first period, but the veteran netminder shut down the Florida offense the rest of the way, giving Nashville a chance to finally solve Sergei Bobrovsky in the other crease. Saros has won three straight starts, allowing just five goals and 86 shots during that stretch to even his record on the season at 9-9-3 with a 2.86 GAA and .897 save percentage.
