He posted two goals -- including the game-winner -- and dished out one assist.

The 25-year-old has notched 16 points in his past 12 appearances, getting to 12 goals and 15 assists for the season.

The 29-year-old has been by far the hottest Predator in recent outings, putting up five goals and six assists during a five-game point streak. It's doubled Novak's points tally for the year, with him having notched 22 points across 26 games.

He has started to center the top line and also works on the first power-play unit, so fantasy managers who need a boost to their offensive options should definitely give Novak a look.
