Kunin posted an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Kunin has three assists in his last seven outings since returning from a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old skated only 10:15 in a fourth-line role Thursday, so it appears he's still fallen out of favor with head coach John Hynes. Kunin is at five points, 27 shots on net and 28 hits through 15 appearances, but his opportunities to contribute will be reduced as long as he's in the bottom six.

Kunin saw his ice time dip to a season-low 9:54 in Saturday's 4-2 win against the Blue Jackets, but still managed to post his second assist in his last four games.

EDGE Analysis

Kunin's ice time was in the 16-17 minute range in three of his previous four games, so Saturday's drop is a bit concerning. There were no reports of any injury immediately following the game, but Kunin's ice time and health status should be monitored closely in the coming days.

Kunin (lower body) had one shot and 17:21 of ice time in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Kunin was back in the lineup after missing four games with his injury, centering Nashville's second line between Mikael Granlund and Matt Duchene. It was a quiet night offensively for Kunin, but it was encouraging to see him jump right back into a regular role in his first game back. Kunin is stuck in a seven-game point drought and hasn't found the scoresheet since the first two contests of the year.

Kunin (lower body) is in the projected lineup for Tuesday's home game versus the Lightning, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kunin is on track to play after missing the last four games. Prior to his injury, the 23-year-old was on a six-game pointless streak, firing just seven shots on net in that stretch. Nevertheless, he should draw into the top six along with the power play in this contest.

Kunin (lower body) won't play in Monday's game against the Lightning, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kunin will miss a fourth straight game. Predators head coach John Hynes believes Kunin will be back in the lineup for Tuesday's rematch against Tampa Bay. The 23-year-old forward recorded two goals on 13 shots through eight games before suffering this injury.

Kunin (lower body) will not be available for Friday's game against Florida, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kunin has now missed the last three games while dealing with a lower-body issue. The 23-year-old forward scored a goal in each of the first two games of the season but hasn't tallied a point since. He doesn't have a clear timetable to return, so Kunin will be considered questionable for Monday's game against Tampa Bay.

Kunin (lower body) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Panthers, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kunin will miss his second game in a row due to the lower-body issue, and he's still without a timeline for a return. The 23-year-old has been decent this season, managing two goals across 14:28 of average ice time through eight games. Kunin's next chance to suit up is in Friday's game against this same Panther team.

Kunin (lower body) will not be available for Monday's game against the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Kunin has two goals through eight games but he's been held scoreless over his last six outings. The 23-year-old forward is considered day-to-day and could get back in the lineup against Florida on Thursday.

Kunin scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

The first-year Predator found the net for the second time in as many games, driving to the front on a rush and knocking home his second swipe at the puck. The goal gave Nashville a 4-2 lead with just over five minutes left in the third period. Kunin, 23, had career highs in points (31), goals (15) and assists (16) in 63 games last season with Minnesota. He inked a two-year deal with the Predators in the offseason.

Kunin scored a goal on two shots and doled out a pair of hits Thursday in a 3-1 win over Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Kunin was making his Nashville debut after signing a two-year contract in the offseason. The 23-year-old, who spent his first three NHL seasons with Minnesota, got the Predators on the board in the second period when he led a 2-on-1 rush and buried a wrist shot from the right faceoff circle. Kunin saw second-line duty alongside Matt Duchene and Erik Haula and could surpass the 15 goals and 31 points he scored a year ago if he maintains that top-six role.
