Tomasino notched an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Devils, skating mainly on the second line with Mikael Granlund and Filip Forsberg.
EDGE Analysis
Tomasino normally skates in more of a third-line capacity, but with Matt Duchene currently sidelined with an upper-body injury, the 20-year-old Mississauga native found himself playing with the big boys for this contest. He will certainly return to checking-line status once Duchene returns, but until that happens, Tomasino's fantasy value receives a bit of a bump. Take advantage.

Tomasino recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Tomasino set up linemate Nick Cousins for the final goal of the game at 7:15 of the third period. The 20-year-old Tomasino continues to see fourth-line minutes. He's produced four goals, three assists, 24 shots on net and a minus-4 rating in 20 appearances. The first-round pick from 2019 should stick in the lineup, but his limited role hasn't led to much fantasy relevance yet.

Tomasino scored a goal on his only shot in Friday's 4-2 win over New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old used a fortunate bounce to end his eight-game goal drought, lighting the lamp when Nick Cousins' centering pass deflected in off Tomasino's skate. Tomasino now has four goals and six points through his first 18 NHL games.

Tomasino scored a power-play goal on three shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Tomasino's tally at 19;15 of the second period held up as the game-winner after goalies Juuse Saros and Thatcher Demko posted donuts in the third. Tomasino added two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's contest. The 20-year-old is up to three goals, one assist, 13 shots and a minus-2 rating through nine contests. While he plays on the fourth line, he's producing offense better than his role would suggest, although it might not be enough to earn fantasy interest yet.

Tomasino registered a power-play goal and an assist Saturday in a 6-4 loss to Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old rookie rounded out the scoring with just over six minutes left, breaking in free and getting enough of a handle on a bouncing puck to lift it past Winnipeg netminder Connor Hellebuyck. Tomasino, who also assisted on a Nick Cousins power-play marker, has two goals and an assist through his first three NHL games.

Tomasino scored a goal on a team-high five shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Unfortunately for the Predators, Tomasino's first career tally was the only puck that got past Igor Shesterkin. The 20-year-old Tomasino logged 13:33 of ice time despite being listed on the fourth line. With a major achievement checked off, the first-round pick from 2019 has likely earned a longer look in the lineup after bumping Rocco Grimaldi to the press box Thursday.

Tomasino was recalled from AHL Chicago on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tomasino racked up 13 goals and 19 helpers in 29 games for AHL Chicago this year. The 2019 first-round pick could be in the mix for a regular roster spot next season if he puts together a strong training camp. Even if he does start the year in the minors, the 19-year-old should make his NHL debut at some point next year.

Tomasino was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tomasino has yet to make his NHL debut, and the Predators would rather get him playing time at the AHL level than have the 2019 first-round pick watching games from the taxi squad. His NHL debut will likely have to wait until next season, though injuries could change that outlook.

Tomasino was recalled from AHL Chicago to the taxi squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 2019 first-round pick (24th overall) has played 20 games with AHL Chicago this season, and he ranks second on the team with 20 points (seven goals, 13 assists). Tomasino will work into practices with the big club for now, and if he proves enough, the 19-year-old could make his NHL debut.

Tomasino was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Tomasino is getting his first taste of professional hockey following a three-year career in the OHL. Selected by the organization with the 24th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, the 19-year-old winger figures to see plenty of ice time with the Wolves and seems likely to spend the bulk of the year in the minors developing his game.
