Evangelista logged an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning. - Evangelista has been scratched for two of the Predators' last five games, though his path to playing time got easier when the team traded Philip Tomasino to the Penguins. The 22-year-old Evangelista has fallen flat this season with nine points, 41 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 22 contests. He had 39 points in 80 regular-season outings in 2023-24, and he's shooting just 4.9 percent this year, so there's reason for optimism that he'll turn things around, likely as part of a bigger improvement team-wide for Nashville. |

Evangelista scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche. - Evangelista opened the scoring for the Predators just 1:45 into the game with a wrister that went past Alexandar Georgiev. The 22-year-old winger endured a rough spell in recent weeks but seems to be trending in the right direction of late, notching points in three of his last four games, with one goal and two assists in that span. However, Evangelista has just two goals in 16 games and owns a shooting percentage of just 6.9 percent, so he needs to be more accurate in front of the goal to have any chance of being a reliable fantasy contributor. |

Evangelista registered an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals. - Evangelista was originally set to be scratched, but Thomas Novak (upper body) was a late scratch instead.

Through 13 contests, Evangelista has six points, 25 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while averaging 12:32 of ice time. He's still needs to refine his overall game, but he may get a chance to do so in the short term if Novak and Colton Sissons (upper body) are both forced to miss time. |

He's too skilled to be a traditional third-liner, but with ice time hard to find, there may not be much growth in his offense this season. |
