Kunin notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Kunin hasn't shown much consistency this year, though he's picked up four points through eight games in December. The 24-year-old is up to 11 points (two on the power play), 46 shots on net, 78 hits, 17 PIM and a plus-5 rating in 30 contests. He's seen a second-line role for much of the season, but the strong play of Tanner Jeannot could see Kunin slip down the lineup once the Predators get some wingers out of COVID-19 protocols.

Kunin scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over Montreal on Saturday. He also picked up a five-minute major for fighting.
EDGE Analysis
That combo is a rare Gordie Howe hat trick. His goal was clutch -- Kunin knotted the game at threes in the third when he buried the puck from the side of the crease during a goal-mouth scramble. Kunin isn't a prolific scorer -- he only has three points in his last 10 games and seven in 23 games this season. And he isn't a banger either -- the major doubled his PIM total on the year. It was a nice night for Kunin, who was celebrating his 24th birthday, but that doesn't make him fantasy worthy.

Kunin scored a goal on four shots, blocked three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Kunin got the Predators on the board at 4:44 of the second period. The 23-year-old snapped a six-game point drought with his goal. He's up to three tallies, four helpers, 28 shots on net, 54 hits, 18 blocks and a plus-2 rating in 21 contests. While Kunin has regularly seen top-six usage this year, he'll need to be more consistent before he'll have widespread appeal in fantasy.
