Luke Evangelista Fantasy Stats

New Jersey Devils winger Luke Evangelista (illness) will remain sidelined Thursday against the New York Rangers. At the start of the week, Evangelista played through illness against Ottawa, but he exited the lineup Tuesday against Detroit and will miss a second consecutive game. Evangelista has tallied two goals and one assist in five appearances. The Devils also remain without Connor Brown (lower body) up front, giving Dawson Mercer and Arseny Gritsyuk a chance to move into the top six. Gritsyuk looks like the better fantasy target at the moment, having notched two points (one goal, one assist) in the last three games.

New Jersey Devils winger Luke Evangelista (illness) won't suit up on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. He played through an illness on Monday against Ottawa but didn't travel with the team to Detroit. Stefan Noesen will replace Evangelista in the lineup. The veteran forward has been a disappointment for the Devils since the start of last season, collecting only seven points (three goals, four assists) in 40 games. He is not expected to play a significant role against Detroit. At the same time, Dawson Mercer should draw more fantasy attention as Evangelista's replacement in the top six.

New Jersey Devils winger Luke Evangelista (illness) missed Monday's morning skate but looks set to play against the Ottawa Senators. The former Predator is feeling under the weather, but Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe was optimistic after the morning skate that Evangelista would be available. In his first four outings with the Devils, Evangelista has contributed two goals and one assist. He has logged time on the second line and the first power-play unit. Compared with his final season in Nashville, Evangelista's average ice time has increased by nearly two minutes. The Devils have Stefan Noesen ready to step in for Evangelista if he doesn't feel well enough to play.

New Jersey Devils right wing Luke Evangelista secured a five-year, $36.25 million contract extension on Tuesday. His annual salary will increase from $3 million to $7.25 million in 2027-28. The Devils acquired Evangelista from the Nashville Predators on Sept. 1. He is coming off a career year, posting 56 points (12 goals, 44 assists) in 81 games. In 253 career games, Evangelista has totaled 142 points (45 goals, 97 assists). With his future sorted, Evangelista can focus fully on his performance and has a realistic chance of becoming a 60-point scorer in New Jersey, playing alongside elite offensive talent like Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes.

The New Jersey Devils have acquired right wing Luke Evangelista from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a conditional first-round pick and a second-round pick in the 2028 draft. Despite a very strong 2025-26 campaign, Evangelista apparently had no future in Nashville. The 24-year-old recorded a career-high 56 points (12 goals, 44 assists) in 81 games. Evangelista looks like a great pickup for the Devils, who averaged the sixth-fewest goals in the league last season. He could become an important piece at even strength and on the power play.

Nashville Predators right wing Luke Evangelista (visa) has been activated from the non-roster list and appears poised to join the lineup for Saturday's battle against the Utah Mammoth. Evangelista's season debut has been delayed due to a contract dispute. He wasn't with the team during training camp and has been unavailable at the start of the regular season while awaiting immigration clearance. Based on Friday's practice, it looks like Evangelista will be entered into the lineup as a second-line winger. He skated with Fedor Svechkov and Steven Stamkos during the session. Evangelista has the potential to become a 50-point scorer this season if he secures a regular top-six role.

Nashville Predators right wing Luke Evangelista finally agreed on a new contract with the team on Friday, signing a two-year, $6 million deal. The 23-year-old was the NHL's last unsigned restricted free agent. Due to his contract dispute, Evangelista hasn't been part of the team's preseason work. Evangelista has earned 86 points (33 goals, 53 assists) in 172 career games and finished the 2024-25 season with 32 points (10 goals, 22 assists) in 68 outings. If he stays healthy, Evangelista could become a 50-point scorer during the upcoming campaign. However, the Toronto-born winger might have difficulty finding form early in the year after missing training camp.

Nashville Predators right wing Luke Evangelista will miss Monday's matchup against Colorado as a healthy scratch. The 21-year-old logged a season-low 10:52 of ice time last time out against Chicago and will now be kept completely out of action. Evangelista has managed only one point in his past four appearances, but he has been fairly productive in 2023-24, contributing one goal and eight assists in 16 outings. Only three rookies have registered more assists than him. Liam Foudy will replace Evangelista in the lineup on Monday.

Nashville Predators forward Luke Evangelista finished with one goal and two assists in Saturday's 6-1 victory against the Blues. Evangelista collected a pair of assists in the opening period on goals by forwards Thomas Novak and Cody Glass, while adding a goal of his own in the second period. The 21-year-old forward was having a great season with the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL and has been productive since being called up to the NHL level, as he has totaled six goals and six assists through 17 games played with the Predators. The young forward can be rostered in deeper dynasty and keeper formats as he was the second round draft selection by the Predators in the 2020 NHL Draft.

Nashville Predators right wing Luke Evangelista popped up with a huge game Tuesday against the Sabres, producing two goals and two assists in a 7-3 victory. All of his four points came in the second period, which puts him tied with Filip Forsberg for the most points in a single period in franchise history. Evangelista also became only the second Nashville rookie to have a four-point outing. The 21-year-old is now on five goals and four assists through his first 11 career appearances. He's seeing top-six minutes and rides with the first power-play unit, which is a great situation for a first-year player.

Nashville Predators right wing Luke Evangelista (upper body) is set to return to the lineup for Tuesday's clash with Detroit. Nashville head coach John Hynes has said that there's "a good chance" Evangelista returns, which is a strong signal that he is able to play again after missing the previous game with an upper-body problem. The 21-year-old made his NHL debut late last month and has notched two goals and two goals in his first six career games. With Filip Forsberg (upper body), Juuso Parssinen (upper body) and Ryan Johansen (leg) out, Evangelista should continue to see top-six minutes and a nice chunk of power-play time.
