He's recorded two goals and four points in 16 games while averaging a bit over 12 minutes per contest.

Arvidsson had two goals and seven points in five meetings versus the Jets during the regular season. Apr 23 |
| 2 | Craig Smith  ActiveCraig Smith got his second goal of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs on Wednesday night in Game 4 against Colorado.

| 5 | Miikka Salomaki  ActiveMiikka Salomaki will be a healthy scratch in Saturday's game against the Buffalo Sabres. Salomaki has two goals and six assists in 55 games this season.

| 3 | Mattias Ekholm  ActiveMattias Ekholm was all over the scoresheet in the opening round of the playoffs. Ekholm finished Nashville's first-round series versus Colorado with a three-game point streak. He has posted one goal and three assists during that span.

| 6 | Alexei Emelin  ActiveAlexei Emelin (upper body) will play in Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Wild. Emelin missed each of Nashville's two previous games. He has one goal and eight assists in 70 games this season. Emelin doesn't need to be owned in any fantasy format. Mar 27 |
| 7 | Yannick Weber  SidelinedYannick Weber (upper body) is not expected to play in Game 3 on Monday night. Weber took part in the morning skate, but he either isn't quite ready to return or the Predators don't want to make any changes to the defense corps at this time. Apr 16 |
