Ribeiro dished out two assists in Saturday's loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
While the Predators didn't get the victory, Ribeiro set up his linemate Filip Forsberg twice and is now riding a three-game point streak. Both Forsberg and Ribeiro are heating up, and while Ribeiro may only have 21 points in 35 games on the year, he's got six points in his last three games and sits 41st among all NHL players in assists (17). Take full advantage of his recent strong play.

Ribeiro scored a power-play goal and had a helper in Saturday's win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
It was just the second goal in 17 games for Ribeiro, who had gone quiet offensively of late. While he's got 18 points in 33 games, Riberio doesn't even average a shot-per-game and is stuck on four goals on the year. He should keep piling up points on the top line with Filip Forsberg, but unless he starts shooting more, don't expect too many more goals.

Ribeiro collected a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Ribeiro now has three points in as many games, and 14 in 24 on the season. After two recent 10-minute minconducts, he also ranks eights in the league with 40 PIM, although he shouldn't be expected to keep up that pace.

Ribeiro was assessed a 10-minute misconduct penalty for the second straight game Monday against Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
The Predators suffered their third straight shutout loss at the hands of the Rangers, and Ribeiro's emotions got the better of him late in the game. Clearly frustrated by his lack of production and the team's poor play, Ribeiro played 19:42 before exiting the game for verbally abusing the officials, and head coach Peter Laviolette said after the game that Ribeiro's recent antics would be handled "internally." It remains to be seen what sort of punishment, if any, will be levied on Ribeiro by the team. Sitting him might make the Predators' scoring woes even worse, but clearly something needs to be done to snap the team out of its funk.

Ribeiro had a goal and an assist in Saturday's win over the Jets, snapping a eight-game stretch without a goal.
EDGE Analysis
Breaking the slump is huge for Ribeiro, who has not been as productive as he was last year. Owners will hope that he can carry the momentum into games where the Preds don't rout the opposition 7-0.

Ribeiro was held off the scoresheet Thursday against the Maple Leafs. He now has just two assists in his last seven games.
EDGE Analysis
Ribeiro had a banner season last year, his first as a Predator, as he lined up as the team's top center on a line with James Neal and Calder Trophy candidate Filip Forsberg. This year, however, after starting the year on that same line, he's been demoted to the second line alongside Craig Smith and Colin Wilson. He's still seeing a decent amount of ice time (17:52) and plays on the second power-play unit, but without Neal and Forsberg flanking him every night, he's not nearly as productive. With just eight points in 15 games, he is currently on pace to fall well short of the 62 points he scored last season. Adjust your fantasy lineups accordingly.

Ribeiro scored his first goal of the season Thursday, adding an assist and a plus-3 rating in a 5-1 rout of the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
This game incredibly represented only the third time in seven contests this season that Ribeiro actually put a shot on goal. Of course, he's never been a prolific shooter, but five in seven games is a career-low rate. Despite that in combination with his horrendous inefficiency in the faceoff circle, he's got a three-game point streak going.

Ribeiro picked up an assist in Tuesday's shootout win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Ribeiro has three points in six games this season, all of which were assists. He's been reluctant to shoot the puck, having gone four games without a shot attempt. It's a stat that has hurt fantasy owners more than the Predators, as the team has collectively added 19 goals thus far, fourth best in the Western Conference.

Ribeiro posted his first point of the season in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Oilers, assisting on linemate Filip Forsberg's second-period goal.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old Ribeiro continues to center the Preds' first line in between Forsbrg and James Neal, and looks primed for another solid season offensively. After two sub-50 point seasons - one with Phoenix, one with Washington - Ribeiro has rejuvenated his career in Nashville. He should be a fixture in your fantasy lineup right now.

Ribeiro re-signed Wednesday with the Predators on a two-year, $7 million contract, TSN's Aaron Ward reports. The Predators were able to reach a deal with Ribeiro shortly before he was set to hit unrestricted free agency, locking him back in as their No. 1 center. Skating alongside star rookie Filip Forsberg last season, the 35-year-old Ribeiro was able to revive his career, tallying 15 goals and 47 assists across 82 games. He should remain a useful fantasy commodity once again for what projects to be a strong Predators squad.
