Brandon Yip scored the winning goal for Nashville on Thursday as the Predators defeated his ex-Colorado teammates.

Yip was placed on waivers in January and the Predators quickly snapped him up. "Any time a team lets you go or trades you there’s a little salt in your mouth after that, and it was a big win for the team and me as well," Yip said. "It’s definitely nice to get a goal there and contribute and help the team, and it was a big goal for us and gave us a lead there." He has two goals and four points in 14 games with the Preds so he has little fantasy relevance at this time.
