EDGE Analysis

Marchessault logged his usual ice time (17:26) in Thursday's game versus the Canadiens, so it's not obvious when he got hurt. The 34-year-old's absence will see the Predators go with seven defensemen, inserting Nick Blankenburg into the lineup. Marchessault is considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Ducks.

Marchessault scored two goals on three shots and added three hits, a blocked shot and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran winger opened the scoring midway through the second period when he tapped a puck past Linus Ullmark from in close, and Marchessault then potted the first of two Nashville empty-netters late in the third. The tallies were the first of the season for Marchessault, and he's produced three points in three games to begin his second campaign with the Predators. He is seeing his usual shift on the first power-play unit -- he led the team with 6:34 of ice time in man-advantage situations Monday.

Marchessault scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Marchessault ended the year with two goals and five assists over five contests after missing four games due to a lower-body injury. He had a total of 21 goals, 56 points (23 on the power play), 206 shots on net, 77 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-29 rating over 78 appearances. His 10.2 shooting percentage was his lowest since 2020-21, and combined with a lower shot volume, it explains most of his struggles in his first year with the Predators.

Marchessault scored a goal and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

This was his third appearance against his former team, but it was his first game back in Vegas since he signed with Nashville as a free agent last summer. Marchessault tallied early in the third period to spark a comeback push for the Predators. He has five points over three games since returning from a lower-body injury. The winger's goal Saturday was his 20th of the year, and he's at 54 points, 202 shots on net, 77 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-29 rating over 76 appearances.

Marchessault logged a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Marchessault has four helpers (three on the power play) over two games since returning from a lower-body injury that cost him four contests. The winger is up to 53 points (22 on the power play), 201 shots on net, 77 hits and a minus-27 rating over 75 outings. Barring a late surge, he'll finish with his lowest point total in four years, but Marchessault has done alright considering the Predators' overall struggles in 2024-25.

Marchessault generated three assists, two on the power play, in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Marchessault returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing four games due to a lower-body injury. The right-shot winger had logged just one assist over 10 contests prior to being sidelined, so the time off might have been what he needed to finish 2024-25 on a high note in what's been a disappointing first season with Nashville. The 34-year-old hasn't scored since March 4, and if he can't find the back of the net in the club's remaining four matchups, he'll fail to reach the 20-goal mark for the first time over a full campaign since his rookie year in 2015-16 with Tampa Bay.

Marchessault (lower body) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the Islanders, Emma Lingan of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchessault returns following a four-game absence due to his lower-body injury. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran winger was mired in a 12-game goal drought during which he generated just three helpers -- though two of those were recorded with the man advantage. Marchessault figures to link up with one of the two power-play units in addition to filling a top-six role.
