Kunin produced an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
The Predators' second line combined for its first goal of the year just 3:18 into the game, with Kunin setting up Eeli Tolvanen for the tally. With 19 points in 38 games last year, Kunin has a realistic chance for 40 points in 2021-22 if he stays healthy. The 23-year-old is also good for physicality (84 hits last year), so fantasy managers in deeper formats could benefit from his services as a depth forward.

Kunin scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner, in a 4-3 double-overtime win over Carolina in Game 4 on Sunday. He also added six shots, four hits and two blocks.
EDGE Analysis
That was a big-time performance for the 23-year-old, who was all over the scoresheet in this one. Kunin opened the scoring in the game's opening minute, jumping on a loose puck in front and backhanding it through Carolina goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic. He later put the finishing touches on Nashville's second straight double-overtime victory, blasting a one-timer past Nedeljkovic from the slot with 3:50 left in the second extra session. Kunin had a nice finish to the regular season with six goals over his last nine contests, but his two-goal outburst Sunday marked his first points of the series.
