Grimaldi scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The winger's tally made it 3-0 just 35 seconds into the second period. Grimaldi has three points through six games this season, while firing 13 shots on goal. He faces an uphill battle to get on the scoresheet consistently given his bottom-six usage, but the early returns are encouraging.

Grimaldi (lower body) posted an assist and two shots while skating 12:51 in a 5-2 win over the Golden Knights on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi missed two games with the issue, but picked up his second assist of the season on Kyle Turris' opening goal in the first period. The 26-year-old is looking to keep a consistent spot in the lineup for the Predators after registering 13 points in 53 games last season.

Grimaldi (lower body) is in the projected lineup for Tuesday's game against the Golden Knights, NHL.com's Thomas Willis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi skated on Nashville's fourth line during practice Monday, which was the first indication that he'd likely be available against Vegas. The 26-year-old forward has tallied one assist while averaging 11:24 of ice time in three appearances this season.

Grimaldi (lower body) was featured on the fourth line in Monday's practice, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi has missed the last two contests but was considered day-to-day prior to both of them. His presence at practice indicates he should be good to go sooner rather than later. Expect Grimaldo to return to his bottom-six role Tuesday in Vegas or Thursday in Arizona.

Grimaldi (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Kings, Thomas Willis of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi will miss a second straight game Saturday, but he was a limited participant at Friday's morning skate, which suggests he could be ready to return as soon as Tuesday against Vegas. Once he's given the green light to rejoin the lineup, the 26-year-old will take on a bottom-six role for the Predators.

Grimaldi won't suit up for Thursday's clash against the Capitals and is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi was a game-time decision coming into the clash, but he didn't participate in morning skate, so this news isn't quite surprising. With the 26-year-old sitting out, Daniel Carr will draw into the lineup as the fourth-line left wing. Grimaldi will likely be monitored daily, and his next chance to suit up is Saturday against the Kings.

Grimaldi (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup with Washington, Thomas Willis of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi wasn't on the ice for morning skate, which was the first sign that he might not be available for Thursday's contest. If he's unable to go, Daniel Carr will draw into the lineup against the Capitals.

Grimaldi notched his first point of the season with an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old California native scored just 13 points in 53 games for the Preds last season, skating mostly in a checking-line capacity. That appears to be the case so far this year, too -- he saw ice time of just 11:19 Tuesday against the Sharks, skating mostly on the fourth line with Kyle Turris and Calle Jarnkrok.

Grimaldi was awarded a one-year, $1 million contract with Nashville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi earned a well-deserved salary increase, after he posted career highs in points (13), assists (8), goals (5) and games (53) this past season. Even at his diminuative 5-foot-6 frame, the North Dakota product added a nice spark to the lineup during the playoff series against Dallas, where he scored three goals in five games. Expect the 26-year-old to spend most, if not all of his time with the big club during the 2019-20 season.

Grimaldi was qualified by Nashville on Tuesday, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Preds GM David Poile has gone on record as saying he has every intention of re-signing Grimaldi after the winger collected 13 points in 53 games this past season. At this point, nothing suggests Grimaldi won't be a Predator in 2019-20.
