Ribeiro was held off the scoresheet Thursday against the Maple Leafs. He now has just two assists in his last seven games.
EDGE Analysis
Ribeiro had a banner season last year, his first as a Predator, as he lined up as the team's top center on a line with James Neal and Calder Trophy candidate Filip Forsberg. This year, however, after starting the year on that same line, he's been demoted to the second line alongside Craig Smith and Colin Wilson. He's still seeing a decent amount of ice time (17:52) and plays on the second power-play unit, but without Neal and Forsberg flanking him every night, he's not nearly as productive. With just eight points in 15 games, he is currently on pace to fall well short of the 62 points he scored last season. Adjust your fantasy lineups accordingly.
