Fiala (leg) got in some skating Thursday, a good sign for his recovery.

EDGE Analysis

Reports out of Nashville have consistently put Fiala's recovery as ahead of schedule -- the news that he is back on the ice only serves to confirm those reports. The winger figures to play a significant role for the Predators this season, especially after the loss of James Neal in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft. The 20-year-old Fiala will likely exceed both his games played (54) and points (16) during the 2017-18 campaign and could be worth a look by owners in most fantasy formats.
