Tallies power-play goal Novak scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Novak's goal at 15:29 of the first period stood as the game-winner. It was his first goal in four contests since the NHL resumed after the 4 Nations Face-Off -- prior to the break, the 27-year-old had six goals and four assists over a 10-game span. For the season, he's up to 12 goals, 20 points, 85 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 49 appearances. Novak is on pace for his worst full NHL campaign, but he's done enough to maintain a middle-six role.

Saros, Predators beat weary Winnipeg 2-1 to end NHL-best Jets' team-record winning streak at 11

Juuse Saros made 23 saves and the Nashville Predators ended NHL-leading Winnipeg’s franchise-record winning streak at 11 games, beating the weary Jets 2-1 on Thursday night

Nets another goal in win Novak scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

Impact Novak has six goals and four assists over his last 10 contests. The 27-year-old's tally opened the scoring in the first period Saturday. He's up to 11 goals, 19 points, 79 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 45 appearances. The break for the 4 Nations Face-Off comes at a bad time for Novak, who finally had some momentum on offense for the first time this season, so he'll be a player to watch when the NHL resumes Feb. 22 as the Predators host the Avalanche.

Tallies late in loss Novak scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Novak has five goals and four assists over his last nine outings. Despite that decent performance, he's mostly been confined to third-line minutes. He did earn some shifts higher in the lineup as Joakim Kemell was sheltered in his NHL debut Friday. Novak has 10 goals, 18 points, 77 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 44 appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores again Friday Novak scored a goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Novak was limited to 11:53 of ice time in the loss but maintained his power-play spot on the second unit. The 27-year-old has done well despite a limited role lately, earning four goals and four assists over his last six outings. For the season, he's at a less inspiring 17 points with 72 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 41 appearances. Novak is worth a look at least as a streaming option for fantasy managers in need of offense.

FEBRUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nets lone goal in loss Novak scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Novak's tally at 8:41 of the first period was 90 seconds after Nils Hoglander opened the scoring for the Canucks. The 27-year-old Novak has found a groove recently with three goals and four assists over his last seven contests, primarily in a third-line role on the wing with Fedor Svechkov at center. Novak struggled at center earlier in the season, and it's still too soon to say that he's turned a corner. For the campaign, he's at eight goals, 16 points, 71 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 40 appearances.

Contributes pair of points in win Novak scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Sharks.

Impact Novak was involved in Nashville's first two goals, which came 56 seconds apart in the first period. The 27-year-old didn't get in on the fun again in a second straight high-scoring battle between these two teams, but he has earned six points over his last three outings following his prior seven-game slump. The forward has seven goals, 15 points (four on the power play), 66 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 38 appearances.

JANUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Three points in win Novak notched a goal and two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.

Impact Novak cracked the scoresheet for the second game in a row, making it the first time he recorded points in at least two straight games since a three-game stretch between Dec. 10 and Dec. 14. It was also the first multi-point effort of the campaign for the 27-year-old, but these outputs aren't expected to become the norm for Novak especially considering his bottom-six role in the lineup.

JANUARY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gathers helper in win Novak provided an assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Wild.

Impact Novak ended a seven-game drought with the helper. That stretch includes his two-game absence due to an upper-body injury to begin January. The 27-year-old forward has remained in a bottom-six role lately, as Steven Stamkos and Ryan O'Reilly have function as top-six centers. Novak has just 10 points with 61 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 36 appearances.

JANUARY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Projected to play in Winnipeg Head coach Andrew Brunette said that he expects Novak (upper body) will be able to play in Tuesday's road matchup against the Jets, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site r...

Impact Novak missed back-to-back games in Vancouver and Calgary due to his injury. The left-shot center will most likely fill a bottom-six role against the Jets on Tuesday. The 27-year-old has contributed five goals and four helpers over 31 appearances this season.

JANUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out Saturday Novak (upper body) isn't expected to play Saturday against the Flames, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.

Impact Novak missed Friday's matchup with the injury and it appears he'll likely miss at least one more contest. Fedor Svechkov will likely remain in Nashville's bottom-six while Novak's sidelined.

JANUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't be available Friday Novak (upper body) won't play Friday versus the Canucks.

Impact Fedor Svechkov was called up Friday, and it appears Novak's injury is the reason why the Predators needed a forward. Novak will miss at least one game and is considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's contest in Calgary.

JANUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pockets helper Monday Novak earned an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Novak has generated five points over his last seven contests, though he's now gone five games without a goal. The 27-year-old forward is up to nine points, 50 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 28 appearances. Novak was listed as the third-line center Monday but saw a reduced role with the Predators dressing 11 forwards and seven defensemen. The team has struggled to score this year, making depth players like Novak risky options for fantasy managers.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finds twine in Thursday's win Novak scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

Impact Novak has scored in back-to-back games, though his ice time could be set to drop soon. Ryan O'Reilly returned from a lower-body injury Thursday and looks set to fill a second-line role moving forward, which would leave Novak as the third-line center unless he moves to the wing. The 27-year-old has five goals, one assist, 42 shots on net and 10 blocked shots over 23 appearances this season, so he hasn't done much to earn a larger role despite recording at least 43 points in each of the previous two campaigns.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ends goal drought Tuesday Novak scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

Impact Novak recorded a point for the first time since Oct. 25, and it was also his first goal since Oct. 22, when he contributed with a tally in the 4-0 win over the Bruins. Novak enjoyed an excellent start to the campaign with three goals in his first six games, but he's gone ice-cold since then. The 27-year-old should continue to find opportunities to produce as long as he remains a member of the second power-play unit, but the team's overall struggles certainly limit his upside considerably.

DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to rock Novak (upper body) will play Sunday against Vancouver, according to Predators Radio Host Max Herz.

Impact Novak might occupy a bottom-six role in the lineup following a six-game absence. He has three goals, one assist and 22 shots on net across 12 appearances this season. Novak's return could make Michael McCarron a healthy scratch versus the Canucks.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Friday Novak (upper body) won't play Friday versus the Flames, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Novak will be out of the lineup for the sixth games in a row. The 27-year-old center's next chance to play is Sunday versus the Canucks, though it's unclear if he'll be ready for that contest.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Thursday Novak (upper body) will miss Thursday's game against Edmonton, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Impact Novak is set to miss his fifth straight game. He has three goals and four points in 12 outings in 2024-25. It remains to be seen if he'll be an option Friday versus Calgary.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Monday Novak (upper body) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Avalanche, Predators Radio Host Max Herz reports.

Impact Novak participated in Monday's morning skate but will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game. However, he seems to be getting closer to returning to game action, and his next opportunity to do so will be Thursday in Edmonton.
