  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Scores GWG in Columbus

    Evangelista scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Blue Jackets.

    Evangelista got sprung for a partial breakaway early in the third period and fired a perfect shot off the crossbar to beat Daniil Tarasov and break a 1-1 tie. The 22-year-old winger is up to 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists) over 63 games in his first full NHL season, but rather than hit a wall, Evangelista has picked up the pace of late with four goals and seven points in the last 11 contests.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Supplies assist in loss

    Evangelista logged an assist and one shot on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

    After being a game-time decision due to an illness, Evangelista was in his regular spot on the third line being centered by Thomas Novak. In addition to his assist, Evangelista finished with one shot and a minus-1 rating in 13:51 of ice time. He has 28 points in 68 games played this season. The 22-year old winger is an intriguing young player with flashes of offensive potential. While his immediate fantasy value remains limited due to his third-line role and lack of consistent playing time, he is a player to keep an eye on, especially if he starts to receive more power-play time.
