| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | David Legwand  ActiveDavid Legwand has racked up 16 points in his last 18 games. In his past eight outings, he has four goals and eight points. "David is competing really hard. He knows that he has to carry a lot of the load and is showing his ability," coach Barry Trotz said. "He's using his ability on a consistent basis shift-in and shift-out, and you talk about being a real good pro and producing and trying to make a difference. He has been trying to make a difference." He has also done a good job of taking advantage of shoot-first linemates Taylor Beck and Patric Hornqvist. Apr 11 |
| 2 | Mike Fisher ActiveMike Fisher scored a goal and recorded an assist in his return from a hand injury on Thursday. Fisher missed seven games as a result of the injury. He also had five hits and logged 18:53 minutes in Nashville's 5-2 loss to Detroit. Apr 26 |
| 3 | Paul Gaustad  I.L.Paul Gaustad had successful shoulder stabilization surgery Monday. He will need four months of rehab which will take him into August, well ahead of the start of training camp. Apr 16 |
| 4 | Nick Spaling ActiveNick Spaling returned to action on Saturday after being a healthy scratch. Spaling played 16:28 minutes as he replaced the injured Patric Hornqvist in the lineup. "I just want to play my game and get back to playing down low and play at the net," Spaling said before the game Saturday. "I need to get to the net and be there for screens and rebounds." He has three goals and five points in 24 games with a poor minus-seven rating. Mar 11 |
| 5 | Craig Smith ActiveNashville Predators coach Barry Trotz called out Craig Smith and Sergei Kostitsyn for their lack of production this season. "We expected production from Sergei and Craig Smith and we got none," Trotz said. "Both those guys, we were looking at them to be top-six, top-seven forwards and we got no production." Ouch. Smith finished with four goals and 12 points while Kostitsyn scored three goals and 15 points. Both were pretty big disappointments for a Predators team that finished tied for last in the NHL in scoring with 2.27 goals per game. Apr 29 |
| 6 | Filip Forsberg ActiveFilip Forsberg will return to Sweden and finish high school. Forsberg was recalled for the last game of the season and ended up playing five games this year for the Predators after being traded from Washington at the deadline. He has a very bright NHL future as he is an all-round player. Not a bad gig to play in the NHL and then have to return home to finish high school. He is worth picking up in all keeper pools next season. Apr 29 |
| LW | 1 | Sergei Kostitsyn ActiveSergei Kostitsyn suffered an MCL injury Saturday and will need two-four weeks to recover. It was the last game of the regular season and with the Predators on the outside looking in at the playoffs, it will only interfere with his off-season. Just an FYI as he had only three goals and 15 points in 46 games this season and should not have been in your lineup. Apr 29 |
| 2 | Colin Wilson I.L.Colin Wilson underwent stabilization surgery on his left shoulder on Monday. If you're experiencing deja vu, it's because Wilson had the same procedure on his right shoulder a few weeks back. Wilson's right shoulder was injured in March, but he's had chronic problems with the left one. He's expected to need four-to-six months to recover. May 10 |
| 3 | Gabriel Bourque  SidelinedGabriel Bourque's surgery to repair a torn meniscus went well and he will be out for two-four weeks. Unfortunately, the Predators were eliminated from playoff contention on Monday evening so Bourque's season is over. He had 11 goals in 34 games this season. Apr 16 |
| 4 | Brandon Yip SidelinedBrandon Yip (lower body) is expected to return to practice Wednesday. Yip has been sidelined since suffering the injury April 7. He has just three goals and seven points in 35 games this season and shouldn't be in your lineup. Apr 16 |
| 5 | Taylor Beck SidelinedTaylor Beck will miss Tuesday's contest with an upper body injury. Beck has three goals and seven points in 16 games this season. Consider him day-to-day, although obviously this is the final week of Nashville's campaign. Apr 22 |
| 6 | Kevin Henderson ActiveKevin Henderson was called up from the minors on Saturday April 27. Apr 28 |
| RW | 1 | Patric Hornqvist ActivePatric Hornqvist is upbeat about the Predators' future after signing a five-year, $21.25 million contract. Hornqvist would have been a restricted free agent this summer. "I think we have something really good here going," Hornqvist said. "I want to stay here. I like it here. Great place to live and a great place to play. The fans are great; it was a quick deal." Hornqvist, who was limited to 24 games this season, is one of the few offensive weapons the Predators have so locking him up was vital. May 1 |
| 2 | Bobby Butler ActiveThe Nashville Predators are unsure as to whether or not they will re-sign RFA to be Bobby Butler. Butler is currently with Team USA at the World Championships. His inconsistent play caused the Devils to place him on waivers where the Predators grabbed him in March. "He hasn’t been consistent. If we can get his 'A' game all the time, we have a spot for him. But his inconsistency is what has held him back," GM David Poile said. "We have to get a handle on whether he’s 'A' game Bobby or something less than that," May 12 |
| 3 | Richard Clune ActiveRichard Clune fought Colorado's Cody McLeod in Saturday's 1-0 overtime loss. Clune now has 84 penalty minutes in 34 games this season. He accumulate about two penalty minutes per game for the rest of the season and also chip in with the occasional point. Mar 30 |
| 4 | Chris Mueller ActiveNashville has called up Chris Mueller. He was sent down Wednesday after playing in Tuesday's win over Colorado. In seven NHL games this year, Mueller has two goals and three points. Apr 4 |
| 5 | Matt Halischuk SidelinedMatt Halischuk expects to undergo shoulder surgery on Monday. The good news is that the young winger expects to be good to go for training camp. Halischuk had 11 points in 2013, including four points in his final three contests. Apr 28 |
| 6 | Daniel Bang ActiveThe Nashville Predators have sent Daniel Bang to the minors. Bang will presumably play for the Milwaukee Admirals in Game 1 of the first round on Friday. He has two assists in seven games with Nashville this season. Apr 26 |
| D | 1 | Shea Weber ActiveShea Weber wants to remain with the Nashville Predators and is committed to their rebuilding process. "For sure, definitely," Weber said Sunday. "I’m committed to everything here -- committed to the team and coaching staff and my teammates, and committed to being better for them and getting back to the postseason." Weber's been locked in to the process since Nashville matched a 14-year, $110 million offer sheet Weber signed with the Flyers last summer. There have been rumblings that Weber might want out after flirting with leaving already and while these words seem to dispute that notion, what one says in public can be entirely different to what is said in private. Time will tell if Weber is true to his words and if the Preds can afford to pay the defenseman the full freight on that massive deal. Apr 30 |
| 2 | Kevin Klein ActiveKevin Klein was back in the Predators lineup against Chicago Friday night. Klein had been for the last week with an upper body injury but seems fine now after logging 21:22 of ice time and registering an assist in the Preds' 5-4 overtime loss to the Hawks. Activate him if you normally would. Apr 20 |
| 3 | Roman Josi ActiveThe Nashville Predators want Roman Josi to get bigger in the off-season. Josi worked on his nutrition last season and dropped from 12.5 percent body fat to 8.5 percent and will work on bulking up this off-season. "His conditioning was better," GM David Poile said. "We talked about his nutrition, his strength. When you're going to be playing big minutes like he did this year, you're going to need that." Josi increased his playing time over five minutes per game this season and should get a bigger share of ice time again next season, if he can handle it. May 12 |
| 4 | Hal Gill ActiveHal Gill will play in his 1,100th career game Tuesday. Gill will be the 16th active player to hit the milestone. Congratulations to Gill on the achievement. Apr 23 |
| 5 | Jonathon Blum ActiveCoach Barry Trotz was not happy with the effort of defenseman Jonathon Blum on the winning goal Sunday. The Blackhawks and Predators were tied at three just past the halfway mark of the third period when Blum was beaten to the puck by Patrick Kane who passed in front to Jonathan Toews. Toews buried his shot to put the Blackhawks up for good. "They dump the puck in two on three and beat us to the end boards and made a play," Trotz said. "That's right on our 'D.' Our 'D' has to have that puck." Blum could be a healthy scratch once again as he was in mid-March when he spent five games in the press box. Apr 8 |
| 6 | Victor Bartley ActiveVictor Bartley produced his first NHL point when he earned an assist on Nick Spaling's second-period goal Thursday night. The marker gave Nashville a 4-2 lead in what would become a 5-3 victory. Bartley didn't have a shot during his 19:05 of ice time against Calgary, but he did finish with a plus-3 rating. Mar 22 |
| G | 1 | Pekka Rinne SidelinedThe Nashville Predators don't have the best history with goaltenders. Before Pekka Rinne, the Predators' previous four starting goaltenders - Mike Dunham, Tomas Vokoun, Chris Mason, and Dan Ellis - all either lost their job to injuries and/or an unexpected decline in play. Nashville obviously bet on that trend ending when they inked Rinne to a seven-year, $49-million contract. Unfortunately, Rinne battled through an injury this season and recently underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left hip recently. He's projected to need four months to recover, so he should be fine by the start of 2013-14 campaign. However, given the Predators history, there is some concern that this won't be the end of Rinne's problems. May 13 |
| 2 | Chris Mason ActiveChris Mason will play between the pipes on Saturday. Nashville has nothing left to play for, so Mason will get back-to-back starts. He has a 3.97 GAA and .852 save percentage in 10 games this season. Apr 27 |
