Predators' Luke Evangelista: Pots empty-netter
Evangelista scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
Evangelista ended his eight-game goal drought with the empty-netter. He picked up three assists in that span, including two in Tuesday's contest against the Bruins after a promotion to the top line at even strength. If he can stay in that spot, he's poised to finish big in 2024-25. That would be a welcome sight -- he's been limited to six goals and 19 points over 49 appearances after posting 39 points in 80 outings in 2023-24.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Produces two helpers in win
Evangelista notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.
Evangelista got a look on the top line with Steven Stamkos and Ryan O'Reilly, and the trio combined for three goals and eight points. The 23-year-old Evangelista has largely been limited to the third line this season, but he's getting a larger opportunity now that Gustav Nyquist is in Minnesota following a trade. Evangelista is up to 18 points, 85 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 48 appearances. He had 39 points over 80 outings in 2023-24, so there's more scoring potential in the winger's game.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Offers assist in win
Evangelista logged a power-play assist and two hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Jets.
Evangelista snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. He's been back in the lineup since the 4 Nations Face-Off ended after missing three games prior to the break due to a lower-body injury. For the season, the 23-year-old winger has struggled with consistency and has now dealt with some injuries that have made bouncing back more difficult. He's at 16 points (three on the power play), 83 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over 45 appearances.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Out again Friday
Evangelista (lower body) won't play Friday versus the Blackhawks, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Evangelista will miss his second straight game with the injury. He's been battling a few lower-body injuries lately, so it's possible the Predators will opt to rest him for Saturday's game against the Sabres as well, with a two-week break set to follow. Joakim Kemell will draw into the lineup Friday for his NHL debut.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Not playing Monday
Evangelista is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and won't play Monday versus the Senators.
Evangelista exited Saturday's contest in Pittsburgh and later returned, but he's unable to give it a go Monday. It's a tough break for the right-shot forward, as he recently returned from an eight-game absence due to a lower-body injury. Vinnie Hinostroza will replace Evangelista in the lineup Monday and slot in on the second line alongside Filip Forsberg and Ryan O'Reilly. Evangelista will have a few days to recover before Friday's road game against the Blackhawks.

His tally snapped a six-game point drought. Evangelista has struggled with consistency this season, as have many of his teammates.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Not quite ready
Evangelista (lower body) will not be an option against Vancouver on Wednesday but is "getting close" according to head coach Andrew Brunette, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Evangelista returned to practice Wednesday, leading to some speculation that he might be ready to face the Canucks. Instead, the 22-year-old winger will need to wait at least one more game until he rejoins the lineup. Once given the all-clear, Evangelista should slot into a bottom-six role, which could result in Zachary L'Heureux heading back to AHL Milwaukee.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Lands on IR
Evangelista (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Out four weeks
Evangelista (lower body) will miss the next four weeks, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports Thursday.
Evangelista was injured Tuesday against the Jets and the Predators may decide to keep him out a touch longer as his recovery time period is close enough to the NHL break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Evangelista has four goals and 14 points in 39 games, a regression from last season when he managed 16 goals and 23 helpers in 80 regular-season contests.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Exits with lower-body injury
Evangelista (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Jets.
Evangelista was originally injured in the first period but returned to the bench in the second. The 22-year-old was then ruled out for the game early in the third. If he can't suit up Saturday against the Capitals, Zachary L'Heureux (suspension) will likely step into the lineup in Evangelista's place.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Buries power-play tally
Evangelista scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Evangelista has scored twice and added an assist over his last five contests. His goal Thursday was his first power-play point since Oct. 25. The 22-year-old winger has four goals, nine helpers, 61 shots on net, 12 hits, 12 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 31 appearances. Evangelista is likely to remain in a middle-six role throughout the campaign, as he hasn't scored enough to justify a move up the lineup.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Puts away goal in loss
Evangelista scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.
The goal was Evangelista's first since Nov. 11, which was also a game in Denver. The 22-year-old winger has picked up the pace with four points over his last eight contests, but he remains in a third-line role without much consistency on offense. Evangelista is at 12 points, 53 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 29 appearances.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Nabs helper in loss
Evangelista logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.
Evangelista has three helpers over seven games since he was last scratched. That's a good sign for the winger's stability in the lineup, though he's not doing enough to draw a lot of fantasy interest. For the season, he's at 11 points, 47 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 27 appearances in a middle-six role.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Produces assist
Evangelista logged an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.
Evangelista has been scratched for two of the Predators' last five games, though his path to playing time got easier when the team traded Philip Tomasino to the Penguins. The 22-year-old Evangelista has fallen flat this season with nine points, 41 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 22 contests. He had 39 points in 80 regular-season outings in 2023-24, and he's shooting just 4.9 percent this year, so there's reason for optimism that he'll turn things around, likely as part of a bigger improvement team-wide for Nashville.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Scores goal in OT loss
Evangelista scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Evangelista opened the scoring for the Predators just 1:45 into the game with a wrister that went past Alexandar Georgiev. The 22-year-old winger endured a rough spell in recent weeks but seems to be trending in the right direction of late, notching points in three of his last four games, with one goal and two assists in that span. However, Evangelista has just two goals in 16 games and owns a shooting percentage of just 6.9 percent, so he needs to be more accurate in front of the goal to have any chance of being a reliable fantasy contributor.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Snags assist in loss
Evangelista registered an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.
Evangelista was originally set to be scratched, but Thomas Novak (upper body) was a late scratch instead. Staying in the lineup allowed Evangelista to snap a five-game point drought when he helped out on a Juuso Parssinen tally in the first period. Through 13 contests, Evangelista has six points, 25 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while averaging 12:32 of ice time. He's still needs to refine his overall game, but he may get a chance to do so in the short term if Novak and Colton Sissons (upper body) are both forced to miss time.

Evangelista has done well in a middle-six role this season, and he now has his first power-play point of the campaign. He's on the second unit with the man advantage. The 22-year-old winger is up to one goal, four assists, 14 shots on net, four PIM and a plus-1 rating over seven contests, including three points over his last two outings.
