| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Ryan Johansen  ActiveRyan Johansen had a pair of assists in Monday's 4-0 win over Winnipeg in Game 6. Nashville's top line combined for four goals and four assists in the contest to force Game 7 on Thursday night. Filip Forsberg and Viktor Arvidsson registered three points apiece in the match. "I think we can gain a lot of confidence from this game," Johansen said. "It wasn't like we snuck away with one or weaseled a game out or whatever you want to call it. We controlled the game tonight. With our backs against the wall, we went out and we controlled the game." May 8 |
| 2 | Kyle Turris ActiveKyle Turris will represent Canada during the World Hockey Championships that are currently taking place. Turris will join a Canadian team that lost their second game of the tournament on Saturday against team Finland by a 5-1 scoreline. He is expected to join the team in the next fews days and it's unclear if we will see him in the lineup for Monday's matchup against the Latvians. He had a disappointing playoff run with the Predators, picking up just three assists in 13 games. May 12 |
| 3 | Nick Bonino ActiveNick Bonino notched a goal and two assists in Sunday night's 5-0 victory over Colorado. Bonino helped the determined Predators end their first round series in six games in a blowout victory on the road. Bonino finished the first round with five points in six games, and will be a tough matchup for the Winnipeg Jets in the second round. Apr 22 |
| 4 | Colton Sissons ActiveColton Sissons capped off a productive first round with two assists in Sunday's Game 6 victory. Sissons turned in seven points in six games in Nashville's battle with Colorado. With Winnipeg's high-powered offence waiting in the wings, the Predators need Sissons to stay hot. Apr 22 |
| LW | 1 | Filip Forsberg ActiveFilip Forsberg scored the game-winning goal in the shootout to lead Sweden to a gold medal at the 2018 World Championship. This is a great way for Forsberg to head into the off-season after Nashville's disappointing playoff run, which ended in the second round. Gustav Nyquist and Mika Zibanejad scored for Sweden in regulation against Switzerland, while the Swiss got goals from Nino Niederreiter and Timo Meier. May 20 |
| 2 | Calle Jarnkrok ActiveCalle Jarnkrok was dealing with a shoulder injury during the postseason. Jarnkrok sat out three games during the playoffs because of the injury and it didn't fully heal before he returned. He is expected to make a full recovery during the off-season, though. May 14 |
| 3 | Kevin Fiala ActiveKevin Fiala has confirmed he will be back in the lineup for Saturday's Game 5 matchup with the Winnipeg Jets. Fiala was scratched in Game 4 in favor of Scott Hartnell who put in a great performance. Fiala spoke to the media about how he needs to become competitive on the ice and win more puck battles. The Swiss forward has three goals and four points in nine post-season games so far. It should be noted that head coach Peter Laviolette didn't want to confirm any lineup decisions but Fiala did say he saw his name on the lineup sheet. May 5 |
| 4 | Scott Hartnell ActiveScott Hartnell wasn't surprised when the Nashville Predators told him he wouldn't be offered a new contract. "I kind of figured as much," Hartnell said. "They have a lot of guys on one-way (contracts) that need to come up and (they) need to give them a chance. They’re going with their young guys obviously as we saw toward the end of the year, so it was no surprise in that respect." Hartnell still hopes to play next season. He did state though that he's comfortable moving on from his playing career if the right opportunity doesn't present itself. He's happy with how his career has gone and he recently became a father. Jun 6 |
| RW | 1 | Viktor Arvidsson ActiveViktor Arvidsson netted a pair of goals to help Sweden advance to the gold-medal game at the 2018 World Championship. The Swedes defeated Team USA 6-0 on Saturday and will play the winner of the Canada-Switzerland contest. Calgary's Mikael Backlund earned three assists in the semifinal victory, while Vancouver netminder Anders Nilsson stopped all 41 shots he faced for the shutout. May 19 |
| 2 | Craig Smith ActiveCraig Smith got his second goal of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs on Wednesday night in Game 4 against Colorado. Smith gave the Predators a 3-0 lead after he stepped out of the penalty box, where he was serving a penalty for teammate Ryan Hartman. His marker held up as the game winner after the Avalanche's comeback attempt fell a bit short. Apr 19 |
| 3 | Austin Watson ActiveAustin Watson has been charged with domestic assault. Watson was arrested on Saturday night after a Franklin police officer was flagged down by a witness for a possible domestic situation, according to an arrest affidavit. Watson said that he and his girlfriend were arguing about her drinking and not being able to attend a wedding. He admitted to pushing her and was arrested. As of Wednesday, Watson was let go on a $4,500 bond and he has a court date set for June 28. Nashville responded to the situation by stating they are still gathering information and will fully cooperate with the investigation. The team ended the statement by saying, "The Nashville Predators have and will continue to stand side by side with AMEND in the fight to end violence against women." Jun 20 |
| 4 | Ryan Hartman  SidelinedRyan Hartman (shoulder) could be worth keeping an eye on next season. Hartman has to undergo shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum, but he could be ready for the start of the regular season. When he's able to play, he is expected to be tried out in different roles. "Meaning we're open to him playing up in the lineup or different positions, maybe power play opportunities," said Predators GM David Poile. "... It'll be his best chance with a full year to know exactly where he fits in, but I think he's hopefully going to be a player with us for a number of years." Hartman is a restricted free agent on July 1. May 16 |
| 5 | Miikka Salomaki ActiveMiikka Salomaki is expected to get a slight raise this summer. Salomaki, who is a restricted free agent on July 1, had a cap hit of $612,500 in each of the previous two seasons. He registered eight points and 114 hits in 58 games during the 2017-18 campaign. May 27 |
| 6 | Eeli Tolvanen ActiveCoach Peter Laviolette would "love" Eeli Tolvanen to make the Predators' roster next season. The Nashville bench boss indicated that Tolvanen will need to prepare himself this summer with plenty of training to earn a spot on the team. Predators GM David Poile added that it will be the club's goal to get Tolvanen ready to make the NHL. The 19-year-old forward appeared in just three games at the end of the regular season and didn't see any playing time during the playoffs. Still, Tolvanen is loaded with potential and he'll be worth monitoring at training camp. May 14 |
| D | 1 | Roman Josi ActiveRoman Josi reportedly played with a broken hand in the gold-medal game of the 2018 IIHF World Championship. Josi sustained the injury during Switzerland's semifinal win over Canada. The Swiss national team apparently had to ask the Nashville Predators for permission before Josi suited up against Sweden for the gold medal. He logged nearly 30 minutes of ice time and picked up two assists in a shootout loss to the Swedes. Jun 4 |
| 2 | P.K. Subban ActiveNashville Predators defenseman P.K. Subban will be on the cover of the NHL 19 video game. Subban is the first defenseman to be on the cover of the video game since Dion Phaneuf appeared on the front back in 2009. He's also the first Predator to receive this honor. The 29-year-old had 16 goals and 59 points in 82 games during the regular season. He added another nine points in 13 contests during the postseason. Subban continues to be one of the more polarizing players in the NHL. Jun 20 |
| 3 | Mattias Ekholm ActiveMattias Ekholm contributed two assists in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to Winnipeg. Ekholm recorded both helpers in the first period when Nashville jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but it went off the rails for the Predators after that. Ekholm has had a productive postseason with one goal and eight points in nine outings. May 2 |
| 4 | Ryan Ellis ActiveSigning Ryan Ellis to a contract extension is Nashville's top priority this summer. Ellis has one year remaining on his contract, but GM David Poile is interested in locking him up long term this summer. The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun went as far as mentioning that it will be their number one priority this off-season. Poile has begun talking to agent Rick Curran and the two plan on talking again at the draft in Dallas later on this month. Whenever he signs his next contract, Ellis will surely make more than the $2.5 million he's currently earning. Jun 1 |
| 5 | Matt Irwin SidelinedMatt Irwin will not play in Game 7 against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night. Irwin has suited up in every game of this postseason run, but he'll be replaced by Alexei Emelin tonight. He missed Thursday's morning skate, so there's a decent chance he's banged up and not a healthy scratch. The 30-year-old has no points and a plus-1 rating in 12 games this postseason. Miikka Salomaki, Eeli Tolvanen, Anthony Bitetto and Harry Zolnierczyk will serve as healthy scratches. May 10 |
| 6 | Alexei Emelin ActiveAlexei Emelin will likely not be back with the Predators next season, according to Nashville GM David Poile. Emelin is eligible for unrestricted free agency in July. He contributed one goal, eight assists, 40 penalty minutes, 181 hits and 109 blocks in 76 games with the Predators in 2017-18. Emelin also suited up in 10 playoff matches. May 14 |
| 7 | Yannick Weber ActiveYannick Weber scored a goal in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Weber beat Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck with a beautiful wrist shot to tie the game at one at the 11:08 mark of the second frame. He finished the night with a plus-1 rating and two shots on goal in 10:58 of ice time. The 29-year-old now has one point in two games this postseason. Ryan Johansen also found the back of the net for Predators. Nashville is down 3-2 in this best-of-seven series. They'll have to save their season in Winnipeg on Monday night. May 6 |
| 8 | Anthony Bitetto ActiveAnthony Bitetto will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Wild. Bitetto is coming out of the lineup for Alexei Emelin. He has one goal and two assists in 30 games this season. Mar 27 |
| G | 1 | Pekka Rinne ActivePekka Rinne won his first Vezina Trophy at the NHL Awards ceremony on Wednesday night. The Vezina Trophy is "given to the goalkeeper adjudged to be the best at this position as voted by the general managers of all NHL clubs". Rinne had his share of struggles during the playoffs, but he managed to post 42-13-4 record, a 2.31 goals-against-average and a .927 save percentage during the regular season. Rinne had been a finalist for the award multiple times, so it's nice to finally see him win one. Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck and Tampa Bay's Andrei Vasilevskiy were the other finalists for the award. Jun 20 |
| 2 | Anders Lindback ActiveNashville has recalled Anders Lindback. Lindback co-lead the AHL in wins with 31 and finished the season in Milwaukee with a 2.82 goals-against average and .908 save percentage. His campaign in the minors is over, so he will serve as an extra goalie during the NHL playoffs. Apr 15 |
| 3 | Juuse Saros ActiveJuuse Saros is a restricted free agent this summer. Saros may get a bridge deal and some extra playing time in 2018-19 to prove that he is a worthy successor to Pekka Rinne. "We're extremely fortunate to have a young guy like Juuse here who continues to impress us," Predators coach Peter Laviolette said earlier this month. "As we moved through the season, we were able to find more games for (Saros), and that could very well be the same thing next year." Saros posted an 11-5-7 record with a 2.44 goals-against average, .925 save percentage and three shutouts in 26 appearances last year. May 27 |
