Matt Murray - Earns shutout for Milwaukee Murray posted a 32-save shutout in AHL Milwaukee's 4-0 win over Manitoba on Wednesday.

Impact Murray collected his third shutout of the season and the 12th of his AHL career. The strong performance improved his record to 17-17-2 with a 2.72 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 37 appearances. Murray has won his last three outings and remains next in line if the Predators need goaltending depth in the NHL.

Zachary L'Heureux - Inks two-year extension L'Heureux signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract extension with the Predators on Wednesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact L'Heureux has split time between Nashville and AHL Milwaukee this season, recording 28 points (14 goals, 14 assists) in 28 AHL games while appearing in 10 contests at the NHL level. Selected by Nashville in the first round (27th overall) of the 2021 Draft, the 22-year-old winger produced five goals and 15 points across 62 appearances during his rookie campaign in 2024-25. L'Heureux profiles as a physical bottom-six forward with the ability to chip in offensively, but he'll need to improve his scoring consistency to lock down a full-time NHL role. The new deal carries an $875K average annual value and keeps L'Heureux under team control through the 2027-28 campaign. He doesn't carry fantasy value in standard formats at this time.

Jonathan Toews - Forces overtime Tuesday Toews scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

Impact Toews' tally with 1:01 left in regulation forced overtime. He had been limited to three assists over his previous 20 outings, but that followed a four-game goal streak from Jan. 9-15. The veteran center is now at 22 points, 89 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-17 rating across 67 appearances this season.

Josh Morrissey - Tallies in shootout loss Morrissey scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

Impact Morrissey has two goals and two assists over his last six games. The defenseman is now at 12 goals, 46 points, 113 shots on net, 102 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 62 appearances. The Jets are still on the fringe of the playoff race, so expect Morrissey to continue playing a large role from the blue line as long as they're competing.

Jonathan Marchessault - Two assists in shootout win Marchessault recorded a pair of assists, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Jets.

Impact Marchessault has five assists during his seven-game goal drought. The 35-year-old winger is remaining productive, and he also has 15 shots on net in that span, so he just needs better luck. He's at 23 points, 110 shots on net, 62 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-18 rating through 48 appearances this season.
