Murray posted a 24-save shutout in AHL Milwaukee's 2-0 win over Rockford on Saturday.
Murray has his first shutout of the year and the 10th of his AHL career. He's been spectacular for the Admirals with a 5-0-2 record, a 1.96 GAA and a .931 save percentage over seven outings this season. He'll be the next man up in Nashville should anything cause an absence for Juuse Saros or Justus Annunen.

Predators' Hiroki Gojsic: Three points in Kelowna's win
Rotowire
Gojsic scored a goal and added two assists in WHL Kelowna's 6-3 win over Victoria on Saturday.
Gojsic registered his first multi-point effort of the season. The 19-year-old has just three goals and five assists over 14 appearances for the Rockets, which isn't exactly a positive sign after he took a step back with 20 goals and 37 points in 61 regular-season outings a year ago. Nashville selected him with the 94th overall pick in 2024 and signed him to an entry-level contract a few months later.

Predators' Teddy Stiga: Pair of helpers in BC win
Rotowire
Stiga registered two assists in Boston College's 5-0 win over the University of Vermont on Saturday.
Stiga has had an unremarkable start to the season for the Eagles, racking up six points in nine games. The 19-year-old Nashville prospect put up 30 points in 36 outings as a freshman last year, so there is more offense to be found in his game. That said, Boston College's 4-4-1 start probably isn't helping his cause on offense.

Predators' Luke Evangelista: Tallies in loss
Rotowire
Evangelista scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.
Evangelista scored late in the first period, tying the game at 1-1 with a response to Mavrik Bourque's goal. This ended a five-game goal drought for Evangelista, who had just two assists in that span. The 23-year-old remains in a top-six role, so it looks like Nashville will give him plenty of chances to get his game on track. He's produced two goals, seven assists, 32 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 16 outings this season after missing all of training camp prior as an unsigned restricted free agent before signing Oct. 3 on a two-year deal.

Predators' Steven Stamkos: Deposits power-play marker
Rotowire
Stamkos scored a power-play goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.
Stamkos may be warming up, as he's scored twice over the last three games. The 35-year-old had gone nine contests without a point prior to this improved stretch, though his struggles haven't cost him a top-six spot. Stamkos is up to three goals, one assist, 35 shots on net, 11 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 17 outings this season, which isn't particularly useful for fantasy managers.

Predators' Filip Forsberg: Tickles twine in loss
Rotowire
Forsberg scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and doled out four hits in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.
Forsberg is off to a strong start in November, logging three goals and two assists over five games this month. The 31-year-old winger gave the Predators their first lead of the contest, a 3-2 advantage at 5:10 of the second period. For the season, he has been a decent performer with seven goals, 13 points, 52 shots on net, 39 hits and an even plus-minus rating across 17 appearances, though he is more than capable of upping his offense into the point-per-game neighborhood.

Predators' Nick Blankenburg: Extends point streak to five games
Rotowire
Blankenburg collected two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.
The 27-year-old defenseman continues to step up on a Nashville blue line that has been playing without Roman Josi (upper body) and Adam Wilsby (lower body). Blankenburg has gotten onto the scoresheet in five straight games, delivering two goals and six points during that hot streak. He's also been handling the point on the top power-play unit.

Predators' Nicolas Hague: Two-point effort in loss
Rotowire
Hague scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.
Both points came in a 27-second span early in the second period as Nashville grabbed a 3-2 lead that slipped away in the third. Hague had just one helper in eight games coming into the afternoon, and the lack of offense isn't surprising for a blueliner who's never produced more than five goals or 17 points in an NHL season.

Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Two helpers in loss to Stars
Rotowire
O'Reilly notched two assists in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Dallas.
The veteran center had a hand in tallies by Luke Evangelista in the first period and Filip Forsberg in the second as the Predators built a 3-2 lead that slipped away in the final frame. It was O'Reilly's first multi-point performance since Oct. 25, snapping a seven-game skid in which he'd managed just one goal and two points. On the season, he's contributed six goals and 12 points in 17 contests.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Fades late against Dallas
Rotowire
Annunen stopped 17 shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.
The Predators took a 3-2 lead into the third period, but Annunen gave up three goals on only six shots in the final frame, although there wasn't much he could do on any of them. The 25-year-old netminder remains winless on the season, going 0-3-1 with a 3.81 GAA and an .850 save percentage in four starts as Juuse Saros' backup.
L'Heureux suffered a lower-body injury and is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks, the team announced Saturday.
L'Heureux was summoned from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday to provide the team with forward depth due to the absence of Cole Smith (upper body). L'Heureux didn't end up dressing in a game for the Predators before sustaining this injury. Nashville will probably recall another player from the minors to serve as the team's new 13th forward.

Predators' Justus Annunen: In net Saturday
Rotowire
Annunen will protect the home net against Dallas on Saturday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
Annunen stopped 21 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to Minnesota on Tuesday. He has posted a record of 0-2-1 this season while allowing 11 goals on 78 shots. Dallas sits 22nd in the league with 2.86 goals per game in the 2025-26 campaign.
Smith (upper body) was shifted to injured reserve Friday.
Considering Smith is already expected to be sidelined for 3-6 weeks, the decision to place him on injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise. In his 13 appearances this year, the 30-year-old winger managed three goals, 18 shots and 35 hits while averaging 13:26 of ice time.

Predators' Adam Wilsby: Absence to continue
Rotowire
Wilsby (lower body) is not expected back in the lineup for Saturday's clash with Dallas, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.
Wilsby was on the ice Friday but will have to wait at least one more game before he gets his chance to return to action. Prior to his five-game absence, the 25-year-old WIlsby notched two assists, four hits and 11 shots while averaging 17:48 of ice time in 11 outings.

Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Gets lone goal in loss
Rotowire
O'Reilly scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Flyers.
O'Reilly got a piece of a Filip Forsberg shot that went in at 1:44 of the first period. The tally snapped a five-game point drought for O'Reilly, who has had one good stretch sandwiched in between a couple of quieter runs this season. The 34-year-old center is up to six goals, four assists, 28 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 16 appearances. O'Reilly continues to see top-six minutes, so if his offense turns positive again, the rest of Nashville's lineup should benefit as well.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Dealt another loss
Rotowire
Saros stopped 23 of 25 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Flyers. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Saros has now dropped four of his last five games, going 1-2-2 with 16 goals allowed in that span. This was one of his better performances, but the Predators couldn't get anything past Dan Vladar after a Ryan O'Reilly deflection goal early in the first period. Saros slipped to 5-5-3 with a 2.88 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 13 appearances. The Predators have a home matinee game versus the Stars on Saturday, which could be another challenge for Saros should he get the start. He didn't play in an Oct. 26 home loss to the Stars.
Wilsby (lower body) isn't expected to play in Thursday's game against Philadelphia, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
Wilsby hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 28. He has two assists, 10 PIM, four hits and seven blocks in 11 outings in 2025-26. Wilsby might serve in a third-pairing role once he's healthy.
