Lauzon notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Lauzon earned his first point of the season with a secondary helper on a Cole Smith goal late in the third period. While Lauzon has done next to nothing on offense, he has at least two hits in every game so far. The defenseman has totaled 79 hits, 21 blocked shots, 17 PIM, 15 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 17 appearances while seeing top-four minutes.

Lauzon logged five PIM, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Lauzon fought Vasily Podkolzin in the third period, and the Nashville defenseman lost the scrap after a heavy punch from the Edmonton winger. Through 10 contests this season, Lauzon has yet to log a point while seeing steady ice time in a bottom-four role on the Predators' blue line. He has made a physical impact with 54 hits, 13 blocked shots and 11 PIM, but he shouldn't be counted on for offense.

Lauzon notched an assist, two shots on goal, six hits and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Lauzon snapped a 13-game point drought when he set up Mark Jankowski's first-period tally. The 27-year-old Lauzon continues to play in a bottom-four role as a physical presence rather than a scoring threat. He has 19 hits, seven blocked shots and four PIM over four playoff contests after posting 14 points, 388 hits, 111 blocks and 98 PIM over 79 regular-season appearances.

Lauzon produced an assist and one blocked shot in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the last three games due to a lower body injury, Lauzon remained in his regular spot on the second pairing with partner Luke Schenn. Lauzon finished with an assist, four hits, one blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in 20:33 of ice time. This was only the third point for Lauzon in the month of March. While he plays top-four minutes for the Predators, the 26-year old cannot be relied upon for producing points, especially since he does not see power-play time.

Lauzon (lower body) will be a game-time decision against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lauzon looks poised to return from a three-game absence due to his lower-body issue. Prior to his absence, the 26-year-old defenseman was mired in an 11-game goal drought, during which he managed two helpers and 21 shots on net while dishing out 58 hits. If Lauzon plays Tuesday, Marc Del Gaizo will likely be scratched or head back to AHL Milwaukee.

Lauzon is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Lauzon has picked up 13 points and leads the NHL with a whopping 327 hits through 68 games this year, so this is a big loss for the Predators. With Lauzon and Spencer Stastney (upper body) both week-to-week, Tyson Barrie will likely see regular usage for the foreseeable future.
