Jost notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

The helper ended a 12-game drought for Jost, who was scratched in three of the previous five games. The Predators aren't carrying an extra forward currently, opening the door for Jost to be a regular on the fourth line for a while, but he's often been scratched when the team goes to seven defensemen and 11 forwards. Jost is at eight points, 45 shots on net, 48 hits and a minus-13 rating over 41 outings this season, a slower pace than his nine-point performance over 39 regular-season games in 2024-25 with the Hurricanes.

Jost scored a goal and dished out two hits in Saturday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Jost's tally midway through the opening period helped Nashville level the score at one apiece. With the twine finder, the 27-year-old forward has three goals, six points, 28 shots on net and 33 hits through 27 games this season. He has scored two goals in his last six games, which could potentially earn him a more consistent role moving forward. If Jost's current rate of point production keeps up, his first year with the Predators could be his first campaign with double-digit points since the 2022-23 season.

Jost scored a goal, added four PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Jost has been in and out of the lineup for the better part of the last month. The 27-year-old's goal was his first since Oct. 21. He's at a total of two goals, five points, 23 shots on net, 28 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 22 appearances in a fourth-line role. Jost's spot in the lineup is already shaky, and if the Predators decide to punt this season and evaluate some prospect forwards, he could land on waivers to clear a roster spot.

Jost logged an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Jost has two helpers over seven outings in November, and he's also been scratched three times this month. He should continue to play regularly, as the Predators aren't carrying any extra forwards on the roster currently. Jost has three points, 19 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-7 rating through 17 outings this season, mainly in a fourth-line role.

Jost scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Jost saw 14:17 of ice time in this contest, the third game in a row he's been over 13 minutes. He's still officially in a bottom-six role, but he's gotten a larger share of minutes while Jonathan Marchessault (lower body) is on the shelf. Jost's goal was his first point to go with 14 shots on net, seven hits, three blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over seven appearances. While he may play regularly for the Predators, his ceiling on offense is likely around 25 points, so he's not a good option for most fantasy formats.

Jost was claimed off waivers by Nashville from Carolina on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Jost had four goals, nine points, 33 PIM and 46 hits across 39 regular-season outings with the Hurricanes in 2024-25. The 27-year-old is now projected to start the season in the NHL with Nashville, but it remains to be seen if Jost will be a part of the Predators' bottom six for their season opener against Columbus on Oct. 9 or if he'll begin the campaign as a healthy scratch.

Jost was placed on waivers by Carolina on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jost has 495 games of NHL experience in his career, so it's certainly possible that a team puts in a waiver claim for the 27-year-old center. In 39 regular-season games for the Canes last year, the Alberta native notched four goals, five assists and 44 shots while averaging 10:22 of ice time. If Jost clears, he figures to be reassigned to AHL Chicago for the start of the season.

Jost signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hurricanes on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jost had four goals, nine points, 33 PIM and 46 hits in 39 regular-season appearances with Carolina. The 27-year-old isn't a lock to make Carolina's Opening Night roster, but he should be in the mix to earn a bottom-six spot during training camp.

Jost scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Jost finished the regular season with goals in back-to-back games. The 27-year-old had a total of four goals, nine points, 44 shots on net, 46 hits, 33 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 39 appearances. While he has played regularly since early March, Jost may find himself out of the lineup if the Hurricanes are at full strength as expected to begin the playoffs.

Jost scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Jost made it a one-goal game late in the third period, but the Canadiens were able to fend off the Hurricanes at the end. The 27-year-old Jost has six points over his last 14 contests, which is solid for a bottom-six forward. He's at eight points, 40 shots on net, 56 hits, 31 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 38 outings overall.
