Nashville Predators forward Colton Sissons (lower body) has been listed as week-to-week and is not expected to return to action this season. Nashville has been eliminated from playoff contention, so the team has no incentive to rush Sissons back after he suffered a lower-body injury on Saturday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Sissons has recorded seven goals and 21 points in 72 appearances while delivering 100 hits. With Sissons and Jonathan Marchessault (lower body) unavailable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Predators plan to use seven defensemen. Jordan Oesterle will enter the lineup alongside Jakub Vrana.
Nashville Predators right wing Colton Sissons (lower body) exited early during Saturday's contest against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 31-year-old sustained this injury in the opening frame after he fell hard to the ice. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest against the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday evening. If Sissons were to miss time, right wing Jakub Vrana will likely enter the starting lineup. Before Monday's contest, Sissons was riding a 10-game scoreless streak. During this skid, Sissons logged just 13 hits, nine shots on goal, and held a -5 rating. Through 72 total games this season, the 31-year-old has found the back of the net seven times and added just 14 helpers. When healthy, Sissons will only carry value in category formats that reward hits.
Nashville Predators center Colton Sissons scored his fifth goal of the season in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Vancouver. He and Dante Fabbro turned a deficit into a first-period lead, but the Canucks shook off the Predators with Elias Pettersson leading the way with a hat trick. Sissons started the season with a run of three goals in three games, and impressively, four of his five strikes have come during even-strength play. He's logging third-line minutes, and it's highly unlikely he will maintain his current scoring rate for the rest of the campaign, but it's been great to see the nine-year veteran have success in front of goal. Sissons had 12 markers a season ago, and his career-high stands at 15 goals.
Colton Sissons Continues Good Run With Short-Handed Assist
Nashville Predators forward Colton Sissons registered a short-handed assist in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Carolina, extending his point streak to three games. Erik Haula scored the goal. Sissons is a fourth-liner for the Predators, but he's actually been one of the most productive players on the team this month, collecting seven points in eight games. He had just five points for the year at the start of April. Sissons has provided very good depth scoring at a vital time for the team as Nashville has lost multiple forwards through injury. The 27-year-old carries some fantasy value in deep formats and in DFS competitions as the Predators chase a playoff spot.
