Nashville Predators
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Novak was one of a number of forwards to earn surprisingly consistent time with the Predators in 2022-23. He was among the most impressive, racking up 17 goals, 26 assists, 93 shots on goal and a plus-5 rating through 51 games, all of which came from December onward. The 26-year-old could be considered somewhat of a late bloomer, but it appears his time is here. Novak is likely to hold down a middle-six role with power-play time in 2023-24, and while his 18.3 shooting percentage will dip, playing a full season should allow him to push for 50 points again if his playmaking remains steady.

Novak scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Novak opened the scoring 4:05 into the first period, beating Connor Hellebuyck on a partial breakaway to give the Preds an early lead. The goal is Novak's first since March 19 -- he came into Thursday with just one assist in his previous nine contests. The 26-year-old center is up to 41 points (16 goals, 24 assists) through 68 games this year, two shy of his career high set last season.
