Watson skated a season-low 6:14 during Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers, and was held off the scoresheet for the 11th straight game.

EDGE Analysis

Anyone who thought Watson might be on the verge of a breakout back on Nov. 10 when he scored a goal and two assists against the Senators has been sorely disappointed. Despite being one of the team scoring leaders at AHL Milwaukee last season (44 points in 76 games), he is nothing more than a fourth-line player with the Preds. Until he graduates to more of a top-six player role - which we expect he will, eventually - Watson is to be avoided for fantasy purposes.
