Eeli Tolvanen Collects Two Assists On Top Line Monday
Seattle Kraken winger Eeli Tolvanen finished with two assists as the team dropped a home game 6-2 against Buffalo on Monday. Tolvanen picked up his first helper with only 24 seconds played as Jordan Eberle scored, and his second assist came on a power-play goal by Matty Beniers at the 14:36 mark in the first period. Unfortunately for the Kraken, the offense then abandoned the team, allowing the Sabres to coast to victory. The two-assist effort doubled Tolvanen's points tally for the month. He's been slumping since mid-January, but Tolvanen could be ready to make a late scoring surge after earning himself a top-line role. The Finnish winger has 15 goals and 36 points in 67 games for the season.

With just 4:50 played, Tolvanen deflected in a Vince Dunn shot, and he collected the helpers with Tye Kartye as Will Borgen popped up with an early goal in the second period.

Seattle Kraken winger Eeli Tolvanen had his best playoff outing of the year on Saturday, notching three points in a 6-3 victory over the Stars. He scored the team's third goal and dished out two assists, including one on the power play. Tolvanen and Jordan Eberle became the first players in franchise history with a three-point effort in a postseason contest. Having gone scoreless in eight of 12 games, Tolvanen hasn't been a consistent offensive threat for Seattle in the playoffs, but he is fifth on the team in scoring with eight points.
Seattle Kraken winger Eeli Tolvanen showed the Predators what they are missing Saturday, scoring twice against them in a 7-2 victory. The 23-year-old, who was waived by Nashville in December, scored a power-play goal in the first period and added an even-strength tally in the second. Things never worked out for Tolvanen in the Music City, but he has fit in very well in Seattle, producing 15 goals and 10 assists across 35 appearances.
Seattle Kraken winger Eeli Tolvanen had a three-assist outing in the team's 5-3 victory over St. Louis on Tuesday. He added one shot on goal, two blocks and one hit to his tally in 13:14 of ice time. Tolvanen couldn't get his career going in Nashville, but he has looked like a completely different player in Seattle, recording 10 goals and eight assists in 26 outings. He's been averaging less than 15 minutes per game, so Tolvanen has managed to be quite productive in limited playing time. It's not a case of him feasting in power-play situations either, with only three of his points coming with the man advantage.
Seattle Kraken winger Eeli Tolvanen had another prolific outing in Monday's 4-0 victory over Montreal and now boasts five points from his first five games with the team. He boosted his tally with a goal and assist Monday, ending up with the game-winner. The 23-year-old has suddenly become a point-per-game player in Seattle after posting just two goals and two assists in 13 games for Nashville earlier in the season. He has also helped out fantasy managers with seven hits in his five Seattle games. It's been a good story, but Tolvanen likely won't be able to keep up his production for much longer, as he's stuck on the third line and is averaging only 12:32 of ice time.
Seattle Kraken winger Eeli Tolvanen made a scoring debut for the team on Sunday, producing the game-winner in a power-play situation in a 4-1 victory over the Islanders. The 23-year-old was picked up from waivers on Dec. 12 but had to wait very patiently for his opportunity to play. It finally came on Sunday when Tolvanen took Morgan Geekie's place in the lineup. He was clearly eager to impress, as Tolvanen added three blocks and two hits to his line in 12:53 of ice time. Tolvanen has always been a talented buy, and he could become a useful piece in deep fantasy leagues if he can carve out a solid role for himself in Seattle.
The Seattle Kraken claimed winger Eeli Tolvanen off waivers on Monday. The former first-round pick was placed on waivers Sunday by Nashville after he had sat out seven consecutive games as a healthy scratch. Tolvanen has shown flashes of brilliance since making his NHL debut in 2018, but he's been struggling for consistency throughout his young career and it kept him from establishing himself on the Predators team. The 23-year-old has skated in just 13 games this season, posting two goals and two assists. His career record reads 25 goals and 51 points in 135 outings. A change of scenery should do good for Tolvanen, but it remains to be seen if he can make himself fantasy-relevant in Seattle.
Nashville Predators winger Eeli Tolvanen will be back on the ice Thursday against Colorado. The 23-year-old has been a healthy scratch for five of the last six games, including the last three. It's the same old story with Tolvanen, as he has a great set of skills but isn't consistent enough to make himself an integral part of the team. This season began well for Tolvanen, with him getting the action started with a three-game point streak, but he quickly cooled down and now enters Thursday's action sitting on a five-game scoring drought. Cody Glass and Alexandre Carrier also get back into the lineup Thursday, while Michael McCarron, Zach Sanford and Jordan Gross come out.
Nashville Predators winger Eeli Tolvanen will be back in the lineup on Thursday against Ottawa. He's returning to action after sitting out Tuesday's 6-2 win over Minnesota as a healthy scratch. Tolvanen has struggled to make a mark all season and boasts just nine points and 21 points in 65 games. He's managed a measly nine points since the turn of the year, so the young Finn is currently going through a very dark time, but hopefully he can rebuild some confidence over the last few weeks of the season. Thursday's matchup against a weak defensive team certainly provides a very good opportunity to do so.
Nashville Predators winger Eeli Tolvanen stayed hot in front of the net on Friday, scoring in a fourth consecutive game. He produced a power-play goal late in the second period in a 3-2 win over New Jersey. It was a busy night all over the ice for Tolvanen, as he registered two shots, one block and two hits with two penalty minutes. The young Finn now has five goals and five assists for the season. It's been a very slow start from Tolvanen, but he's in full flow right now and it's made him a hot commodity in fantasy hockey.
Nashville Predators winger Eeli Tolvanen extended his goal streak to three games with a late game-winner against the Islanders on Thursday. He make it 4-3 with 12 seconds left in regulation, which is tied for the second-latest go-ahead goal in franchise history. Tolvanen was plus-two for the contest and tallied three shots with two hits. The young Finn has put together a goal streak after going through a massive 22-game drought. It's limited his output to four goals and nine points for the season. However, he's skating with the red-hot Ryan Johansen and there should be more to come from Tolvanen in the upcoming games.
Nashville Predators winger Eeli Tolvanen took only two shifts and logged just 1:18 in Sunday's 5-2 victory over Minnesota, leaving the ice with an upper-body injury after getting hit into the boards. The Predators are expected to announce an update on his status on Tuesday. Tolvanen has had a quiet start to the season, bagging just one point so far, but he was skating in the top six and this is a blow for Nashville's offense. The Predators have a light schedule this week with only two games, but they will take the ice four times next week and will need all the warm bodies they can get.
Eeli Tolvanen Signs Three-Year Deal With Nashville
The Nashville Predators inked forward Eeli Tolvanen to a three-year, $4.35 million contract ($1.45 average annual value) on Monday. The 22-year-old, who was a restricted free agent, logged 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) in 40 games in his first full season in the NHL last year. Tolvanen also registered 12 power-play points, 65 shots and 78 hits during the campaign. The former first-round draft pick should be a staple in the Predators' top-six forward group in 2021-2022 and given his cross-category production in his rookie campaign, Tolvanen could be late-round steal in upcoming fantasy drafts.
Eeli Tolvanen Returns With 11th Goal Of The Season
Nashville Predators winger Eeli Tolvanen ended a seven-game absence with his 11th goal of the season in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to Chicago. The talented winger was one of the hottest players in the league before a lower-body injury took him down. It's taken a long time for Tolvanen to get his NHL career going, but it seems like it has finally happened. He'll head into Friday's rematch with Chicago on 20 points through 32 games. Tolvanen is averaging a point per game in four outings against the Blackhawks this season.
Nashville Predators winger Eeli Tolvanen potted the game-winning goal on a power play in Saturday's 3-0 win over Chicago. He opened the scoring 5:56 into the opening frame. Colton Sissons joined him among the goal-scorers with a short-handed marker and Luke Kunin continued his recent good form with a goal as well. Tolvanen was out of the lineup early in the season, but he's made huge strides over the last month or so, going pointless just four times in his past 16 outings. He has scored seven goals over the stretch and now has 10 goals in total for the year with nine assists in 30 games. Tolvanen has picked up 11 of his 19 points on the power play. He'll face the fifth-worst penalty-killing team in Detroit next, so the young winger is in a perfect spot to keep up his good form.
Nashville Predators forward Eeli Tolvanen recorded a primary assist as his team defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Sunday. With his helper on defenseman Roman Josi's game-winning goal, Tolvanen extended his individual point streak to five games (two goals, five assists). The 21-year-old has taken advantage of added ice time and better usage this month, having registered 12 points (five goals, seven assists), 24 shots and 31 hits while skating 15:04 of average ice time in 15 contests in March. Tolvanen's fantasy ownership has vaulted up to 31% in Yahoo! leagues and he should be considered a priority-add for any owner in need of scoring help this week.
Nashville Predators forward Eeli Tolvanen buried a goal and added two assists as his team came up victorious in a shootout versus the Dallas Stars on Sunday night. The 21-year-old tied the game at 3-3 off a quick wrist shot from distance with just 5:45 remaining in the contest and also contributed a plus-one rating, one shot and three hits in 17:36 of ice time. Tolvanen, who is currently playing on Nashville's top line alongside forwards Ryan Johansen and Filip Forsberg, has now collected eight points (four goals, four assists) in 11 games in March. Just 8% owned in Yahoo! leagues, the Finnish sniper could provide value this week with the Predators scheduled to play four times.
Eeli Tolvanen Picks Up Further Momentum With Two Points
Nashville Predators winger Eeli Tolvanen had a goal and an assist for his second career multi-point game on Sunday, helping the team defeat Dallas 4-3 in a shootout. The Predators blew a 3-0 lead after Mikael Granlund and Calle Jarnkrok had also scored. Tolvanen sat only on one point through his first eight outings of the season, but he has now notched six points across eight appearances. He is skating on the top power-play unit and has also seen some time on the first line. Six of his seven points have come with the man advantage, so Tolvanen has to improve his play in even-strength situations, although the team as a whole has been struggling offensively all year.
Nashville Predators winger Eeli Tolvanen scored the game-winning goal on a power play in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Columbus. Erik Haula notched a short-handed goal and Nick Cousins found the net as well. Tolvanen has been Nashville's top prospect for years now, but he has failed to deliver until now. There are signs of the 21-year-old finally finding his feet in the NHL, as he now has points in three of his last four games, including two goals. Whilst it's still early to make any long-term conclusions, Tolvanen does look like an attractive fantasy piece, as he currently finds himself on the top line and on the first power-play unit.
