Dishes out two apples Hague dished out two assists in Saturday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis.

Impact Hague picked up an assist on each of the Predators' two goals Saturday, including the lone assist on Tyson Jost's tally. With the pair of helpers, Hague is up to eight assists, nine points 25 hits and 24 blocks through 29 appearances this season. Saturday's outing was his third multi-point game this season, which could ultimately lead to the first 20-point season of his career. However, his lack of shot attempts and consistent offense leaves stronger options likely available on the fantasy waiver wire.

Two-point effort in loss Hague scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

Impact Both points came in a 27-second span early in the second period as Nashville grabbed a 3-2 lead that slipped away in the third. Hague had just one helper in eight games coming into the afternoon, and the lack of offense isn't surprising for a blueliner who's never produced more than five goals or 17 points in an NHL season.

Earns assist in team debut Hague logged an assist, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.

Impact Hague missed the first eight games of the regular season while recovering from an upper-body injury. He logged 21:11 of ice time in Saturday's contest and looks poised to play a top-four role on a regular basis for the first time in his career. He's produced no more than 17 points in any of his first six NHL campaigns, and his physical style opens him up to injuries on occasion, so there's a decent amount of risk for little reward from a fantasy perspective.
