Zachary L'Heureux - NHL News & Rumors

Adds three more points L'Heureux scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Milwaukee's 5-4 overtime win over Grand Rapids on Tuesday.

Impact L'Heureux has popped off for seven points over his last two games. For the season, he has 18 points in 15 appearances. The 22-year-old drew into 62 NHL games last season, so he probably doesn't have much more to prove at the AHL level.

Four-point effort in AHL win L'Heureux scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Milwaukee's 7-3 win over Manitoba on Thursday.

Impact L'Heureux has four goals and five assists across seven games with the Admirals since he recovered from a lower-body injury sustained during a stint in the NHL. The 22-year-old could be a candidate for future call-ups, but the Predators seem content to let him continue to play well in the AHL for now. Overall, he's produced 15 points over 14 contests for Milwaukee this season.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to AHL L'Heureux (lower body) was loaned to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.

Impact L'Heureux didn't see any playing time with the Predators following his recall from the minors in early November because of a lower-body injury. The 22-year-old forward should see game action in the AHL now that he's healthy.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains lower-body injury L'Heureux suffered a lower-body injury and is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks, the team announced Saturday.

Impact L'Heureux was summoned from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday to provide the team with forward depth due to the absence of Cole Smith (upper body). L'Heureux didn't end up dressing in a game for the Predators before sustaining this injury. Nashville will probably recall another player from the minors to serve as the team's new 13th forward.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from AHL L'Heureux was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Impact Cole Smith (upper body) will be out for multiple weeks, so L'Heureux is poised to provide depth up front with the big club for the time being. The 2021 first-round pick (No. 27 overall) has contributed four goals and six points over seven appearances with the Admirals this campaign. L'Heureux also had five goals and 15 points over 62 outings with the Predators in 2024-25, so he doesn't lack experience at the NHL level.

Goal, assist in AHL win L'Heureux scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in AHL Milwaukee's 5-3 win over Texas on Saturday.

Impact L'Heureux missed out on the Predators' Opening Night roster after producing 15 points in 62 regular-season appearances in the NHL last season. While the 22-year-old is starting in the AHL this year, he could have his name called in the likely event Brady Martin is sent back to junior hockey in the near future. L'Heureux will be competing with Joakim Kemell, Matthew Wood and David Edstrom as the forwards most likely to get a call-up during 2025-26.

Logs assist Saturday L'Heureux notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact L'Heureux has gotten a top-six look at times in recent games, but with just one goal and two points over his last 15 outings, he's better suited for limited minutes. The physical rookie has 15 points, 76 shots on net, 59 PIM, 192 hits and a minus-5 rating across 60 appearances. Unless his scoring touch improves significantly, he's unlikely to be much of a factor in standard fantasy formats in 2025-26.

Logs assist Saturday L'Heureux notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

APRIL 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nets lone goal in loss L'Heureux scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers.

Impact L'Heureux got the Predators on the board at 13:14 of the second period, but Jamie Drysdale gave the Flyers the lead just 34 seconds later. The goal was L'Heureux's first point in nine outings since he returned from an upper-body injury. He's playing in a bottom-six role, so his offense could remain limited. Overall, he has five goals, 14 points, 70 shots on net, 167 hits and 59 PIM across 54 appearances.

APRIL 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IR L'Heureux (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact L'Heureux appears available to return from a 12-game absence and could play against the Kings on Saturday. He has compiled four goals, 13 points, 56 shots on net, 143 hits and 52 PIM through 45 appearances this season.

MARCH 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Playing Saturday L'Heureux (upper body) was activated off injured reserve and will be in the lineup Saturday versus Chicago, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.

Impact L'Heureux missed nine games with the injury. He has four goals, nine assists, 52 PIM and 143 hits across 45 appearances this season. He is expected to see fourth-line minutes alongside Michael McCarron and Kieffer Bellows against the Blackhawks.

MARCH 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Is week-to-week L'Heureux (upper body) was put on injured reserve Friday and is regarded as week-to-week.

Impact L'Heureux has four goals, 13 points and 145 hits in 45 appearances in 2024-25. He also missed Nashville's last game before the break -- a 6-4 victory over Buffalo on Feb. 8 -- due to the injury. Kieffer Bellows might draw into the lineup during L'Heureux's absence.

FEBRUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Saturday L'Heureux (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Sabres.

Impact L'Heureux was hurt Friday against the Blackhawks, and it appears the Predators won't push him with a two-week break on the horizon. Ozzy Wiesblatt was recalled from AHL Milwaukee and is likely to fill in as a bottom-six forward. L'Heureux's next chance to play is Feb. 22 versus the Avalanche.

FEBRUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains injury Friday L'Heureux is considered day-to-day after sustaining an upper-body injury in Friday's game versus the Blackhawks, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.

Impact L'Heureux was limited to 6:52 of ice time in the contest. The Predators are already running a bit thin on healthy bodies -- Luke Evangelista (lower body) and Adam Wilsby (upper body) were out Friday, and Mark Jankowski (upper body) is considered week-to-week. If L'Heureux can't play Saturday versus the Sabres, the Predators may need to make another roster move for a forward.

FEBRUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes helper in loss L'Heureux notched an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.

Impact L'Heureux set up a Thomas Novak tally in the first period. With four helpers over his last four contests, L'Heureux is chipping in decent offense from a third-line role. The 21-year-old forward is up to 13 points, 52 shots on net, 130 hits, 42 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 41 appearances this season.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Registers pair of assists L'Heureux notched two assists, four shots on goal, two hits and five PIM in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Sharks.

Impact The Predators quickly took a 3-0 lead in the first period, and the Sharks didn't like that. L'Heureux participated in one of three fights right after the third goal. The winger has three helpers over his last two contests, and his second assist Thursday was his first career power-play point. The 21-year-old is up to 12 points, 49 shots on net, 42 PIM, 121 hits and a minus-6 rating over 39 appearances in a middle-six role.

JANUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs helper in win L'Heureux notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.

Impact L'Heureux ended an eight-game point drought, which also saw him serve a three-game suspension for slew-footing in the middle of the slump. The 21-year-old has returned to a bottom-six role after often featuring on the second line prior to his suspension. The forward has produced 10 points, 45 shots on goal, 37 PIM and 119 hits over 38 appearances, bringing physicality to the Predators' lineup, though he has to avoid crossing the line after a lengthy suspension history in the junior and AHL ranks.

JANUARY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Eligible to play Saturday L'Heureux has completed his three-game suspension for slew-footing and is an option to face the Capitals on Saturday.

Impact L'Heureux has appeared in 33 games during his rookie campaign, recording four goals, five assists and 38 shots while also dishing out 106 hits. While physicality is no doubt part of the 21-year-old forward's game, he'll need to clean it up to remain in the NHL or risk the Preds sending him back to the minors to avoid the headache of having him suspended.

JANUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Receives three-game suspension L'Heureux has been issued a three-game suspension Thursday for slew-footing Jared Spurgeon on Tuesday, Sportsnet's John Shannon reports.

Impact This is L'Heureux's 12th suspension, though it's the first of his NHL career. The 21-year-old previously received nine suspensions during his time in the QMJHL and two in the AHL. L'Heureux has four goals, nine points, 32 PIM and 106 hits in 33 appearances with the Predators this season. Ozzy Wiesblatt, who was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday, will likely make his NHL debut Friday versus Vancouver because L'Heureux is unavailable.

JANUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hearing scheduled with NHL L'Heureux will have a phone hearing with the league after slew-footing Jared Spurgeon during Nashville's 5-3 loss to Minnesota, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Wednesday.

Impact The fact that it's not an in-person hearing means that the maximum suspension L'Heureux can receive is five games. Although the 21-year-old has received 11 previous suspensions, none of them will be factored in because they occurred in leagues other than the NHL. Spurgeon exited Tuesday's game due to the injury and was seen afterward in a leg brace and on crutches. The Predators have just 12 healthy forwards on their roster, so if L'Heureux is suspended, they'll likely recall a forward from the minors.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Supplemental discipline looming L'Heureux could face supplemental discipline after receiving a match penalty for slew-footing Jared Spurgeon early in the second period of Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Nashville.

Impact Spurgeon crashed heavily into the end boards as a result and came up unable to put weight on his right leg. After the game, Spurgeon was in a leg brace and on crutches leaving the arena. L'Heureux doesn't have a rap sheet in the NHL, but his AHL and junior list of offenses is epic. He was suspended nine times in the Maritimes Junior Hockey League, including a 10-gamer during the 2022-23 season for jamming his stick through the glass to hit a fan. L'Heureux was suspended twice in the AHL as a rookie last year, but still managed to league the team in points. He can't help if he's sidelined.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finds twine in overtime win L'Heureux scored a goal on three shots and added five hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.

Impact L'Heureux has picked up two goals and two assists over his last seven games. That corresponds with his move to the second line alongside Ryan O'Reilly and Gustav Nyquist, who had the helpers on his first-period goal. L'Heureux isn't an established name yet at just 21 years old, but he's fared well in his first NHL action. He has four goals, five assists, 34 shots on net, 88 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 29 appearances, giving him some speculative value in deep formats.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fills empty cage L'Heureux scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

Impact It's an encouraging sign L'Heureux remained in the lineup over Juuso Parssinen and Fedor Svechkov with the returns of Ryan O'Reilly (lower body) and Gustav Nyquist (illness). L'Heureux was on the fourth line, but that's where he's been for a majority of the campaign anyway. He's got two points over his last three outings and a total of seven points, 30 shots on net, 74 hits and a minus-7 rating through 25 appearances to begin his rookie year.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs helper in loss L'Heureux notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Senators.

Impact L'Heureux ended a five-game point drought with the helper. The latest lineup shuffle found him listed on the second line at even strength, but he still had just 12:38 of ice time Saturday. The 21-year-old forward is at six points, 27 shots on net, 70 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 23 appearances. He's doing fine in his first taste of the NHL, but not at a level that warrants much consideration in fantasy.
