Nashville Predators All Time Scoring List - Where Does Everyone Stand for 2024-25?
Our update will let you see where the active players are, and where they might end up going into 2024-25.
Last year we went through the Nashville Predators' all-time point list, telling you where all of the active Predators sat, and trying to guess where they might just end up. This year we'll update the list and show you just how much some of your favorites are moving.
The following is where every current player on the Predators sits on the franchise's all-time points list
Marc Del Gazio - 202nd overall (3 points, 0 goals 0 assists)
To be fair, Del Gazio is mostly an AHL player, but he did earn the right to be one of the first call-ups from the AHL on the defensive end. His three points in nine games is respectable, but he might not move this year with a loaded Preds defensive corps.
Spencer Stastney - 172nd overall (6 points, 2 goals 4 assists)
Stastney has to play and prove himself this year. After taking the Predators to salary arbitration the pressure is on him to produce and to play more often. He's only played 28 games over the last two seasons, and it wouldn't be an unreasonable exception to think that he plays at least that many games. If he does, he might end up tied with such Predators 15-point luminaries like Brandon Yip, and Peter Forsberg.
Luke Schenn - 165th overall (7 points, 1 goal 6 assists)
The tenure for Schenner got off to a rough start, as he ened up getting a bit banged up during the opening contest of the season.
If Schenn plays a full season without injury, with his passing ability he can probably snag another dozen or so points. That might pull him close to players like Martin Gelinas and Rich Peverly, owners of short and not especially prolific Predators careers with 20 points each.
Jeremy Lauzon - 106th overall (27 points, 10 goals 17 assists)
Lauzon is another guy who is not a big points producer. He had his best season ever last year, playing the most games (79) and scoring the most points (14) while setting the NHL's single-season hits record.
Lauzon could easily match his point output, but can he stay healthy playing the style he does? If he does he can likely put himself into Nick Cousins (40 Predators points from the player known as the NHL's most hated) territory.
Mark Jankowski - 105th overall (27 points, 14 goals, 13 assists)
Janko gets the placement edge for having fewer Predators games under his belt and is more likely to produce his way up the list as well.
Over the course of his 82 games as a Predator, Jankowski is producing well but has never been a full-time player. He signed a two-year contract and projects to be a more permanent fixture in the bottom six this year.
Jankowski should be eying up that 50-career points mark, and Paul Gaustad's 78th overall spot.
Juuso Parssinen -91st overall (37 points 14 goals, 23 assists)
The Juice Man is in a tough spot. The still-unsigned RFA winger has shown real potential at the NHL level, but his 2023-24 form didn't match his 2022-23 play. He was sent down to the AHL and got stuck there. Now with an even tighter crunch on the roster, Parssinen might not really get the time to build on his totals.
Cole Smith - 90th overall (40 points 13 goals, 27 assists)
Coming off of a career year, Smith was rewarded with a contract extension and raise. There is no telling whether or not he's going to get nearly 14 minutes of ice time a game, but he seems to have at least found his niche in the NHL.
Another 20-point year is probably the expectation and vaults Smith over the tiny but mighty Rocco Grimaldi (57 points).
Michael McCarron 87th overall (40 points 21 goals, 19 assists)
Hockey reference lists the guy with more goals higher. What can you do? McCarron has a slightly better nose for the net than Smith and has developed into a playable tough guy and reliable faceoff man.
McCarron was also rewarded for his career highs with an extension and if he can avoid the injury bug, he has the potential for even more. Look for him to challenge Tanner Jeannot's spot (66th overall with 62 points) if he can keep up his play.
Luke Evangelista 70th overall (54 points 23 goals, 31 assists)
In his first full pro season, Evangelista impressed with 39 points (16 goals, 23 assists) and proved that he's offensively dynamic in 5 on 5 situations. Expectations will be higher for Vange as he expects to start slotting into offensive opportunities like power plays and zone starts.
Based on what we're hoping he can advance to, he could end up in line with Alexander Radulov, everyone's favorite offensive dynamo with a bad attitude. Here's hoping that Evangelista doesn't find himself in similar contract squabbles.
Alexandre Carrier 65th overall (62 points 10 goals, 52 assists)
Another contract extension winner, Carrier has developed into a consistent defender, but one that remains unexciting offensively. If he can play a full slate he's good for 25-30 points (mostly assists) and can launch himself into the top 50 just past long-time fan favorite Jerred Smithson.
Ryan O'Reilly 60th overall (69 points 26 goals, 43 assists)
O'Reilly had one of the best opening years in Predators history. He played a full 82-game slate and had his 2nd best season statistically, despite taking some time for the team to really gel.
This year O'Reilly has even more talent around him as he figures to again slot into a lethal top line and power play. Another nice season puts him into the top-30, and just past the talented but troubled Mike Ribero.
Philip Tomasino 59th overall (70 points 23 goals 47 assists)
Just one point ahead of O'Reilly, Tomasino will likely get his number called with the departure of Cody Glass. He'll start in the doghouse for Andrew Brunette but will get opportunities and likely play with some decent talent.
Now to be fair, his projections are tricky. He was well on his way to a career year before being banished to the AHL and he was very good there. A 30 to 40-point season is more of a minimum expectation, which puts him comfortably in the top 40 and just past Joel Ward.
Dante Fabbro 57th overall (72 points 16 goals, 56 assists)
It is a prove-it year for Fabbro, and it is hard to judge if he's got the moves to secure his spot long term. He'll need to be steady defensively, but some extra work chipping in offensively could go a long way.
With Fabbro's ice time shrinking the chances to improve, and the margin for error are moving in opposite directions. With another 20 or so points he'll be in Vernon Fiddler territory.
Gustav Nyquist 54th overall (75 points 23 goals, 52 assists)
It was career highs across the board for Gus. His bus was finding the back of the net and helping others get there at a pace he'd never shown before. If he is able to stick with talented linemates, which there are even more of now, can he again defy the odds?
Nyquist's opening Predators season at age 34 was triumphant, to say the least. Even if his production ticks down a hair, he could end up with Preds legend Jordin Tootoo.
This might be Nyquist's last year to climb the Predators scoring list with him hitting free agency next summer.
Thomas Novak 44th overall (95 points 36 goals 59 assists)
Any point gets Novak out of a tie with Nick Bonino. There is room for Novak to improve, as his offensive pace slowed a touch last year and he found himself adjusting to new teammates and a style of play. It should pay off in bigger dividends this year, but he's still young.
If all goes according to plan he'll blow by players like the real deal James Neal and then some. Especially if he sticks on the 2nd line with Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault.
Colton Sissons 24th overall (200 points 88 goals, 112 assists)
In season 10, Sissons finally broke the 30-point barrier that had been his big obstacle for his decade-long career. He's consistently in that range but is able to contribute to the game in all facets.
Whether it's power play or penalty kill, Sissons plays in all situations and based on his career, he finishes the season between Jason Arnott and Scott Hartnell. Great company to be in.
Filip Forsberg 2nd overall (605 points 287 goals, 318 assists)
Forsberg continues the career year trend on this list from last year. Seriously Head Coach Andrew Brunette can coach offense.
Anyway, Forsberg has been a point-per-game player at least the last few seasons, and if he stays healthy he gets a real shot at the 100-point barrier that has alluded every Predators player in franchise history.
Forsberg's gap between everyone else will get larger, but he might not be able to make up too much of the gap between him and the Predators all-time leader in points, which is the Captain.
Roman Josi 1st overall (686 points 181 goals, 505 assists)
Josi continues his reign as the #1 Predators scorer of all time and is starting to pass some serious names on the NHL's all-time list.
Currently sitting at 30th among all NHL defenders, he'll be passing Chris Pronger, Dave Babych (who despite scoring 723 points was a -216 for his career), Scott Niedermeyer, Mark Howe, and Mathieu Scheider.
Josi is polishing a Hall of Fame resume. A Stanley Cup or a 2nd Norris Trophy puts the icing on the cake for him.
