Luke Evangelista Fantasy Stats

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.
