Fiala (undisclosed) is participating in line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he'll be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Maple Leafs, Adam Vingan of The Tennessean reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fiala missed morning skate due to an undisclosed ailment, but his malady clearly wasn't serious enough to prevent him from suiting up for Wednesday evening's contest. The Predators and fantasy owners alike will be happy to have them in their lineups against Toronto, as he's been red hot recently, racking up seven goals and nine points in his last nine games. The 21-year-old winger will slot into his usual role skating on Nashville's second line and second power-play unit against the Leafs.

Fiala scored two goals, one on the power play, on two shots while adding two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second time in the last six games Fiala has struck for two goals, and his 15 on the season is already a new career high. The 21-year-old is giving the Preds some valuable production on their second line, and as long as he's seeing top-six minutes and time with the man advantage, he should remain a fantasy asset down the stretch.

Fiala extended his current point drought to five games Tuesday in Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Fiala and the Preds were just the latest team to fall to the Golden Knights, who stretched their NHL-best home record to an incredible 17-2-1 with the 3-0 win. Fiala has certainly been scuffling of late, but he had an impressive 12 points in the eight games prior to his current dry patch, so he's proven he can go on an extended scoring run when he gets hot. He continues to skate on the second line alongside Kyle Turris and Craig Smith, so it's just a matter of time before he heats up again. Keep him active.

Fiala was credited with six shots on goal and he found the back of the net for the first time in six contests. The 21-year-old has put up 15 points through 25 contests and is proving to be a reliable fantasy winger. He's locked into a top-six role and seeing power-play time, so there's no reason he can't keep producing at this rate. Get him in your lineup.
