Roman Josi

Josi's three-assist performance against the Capitals produced triple his recent point average and more than double his shot volume. He logged 22:56, about two minutes less than his typical 24:54 a night, while quarterbacking the Predators' first power-play unit. The six shots reflect strong offensive involvement, and his plus-1 rating came despite Nashville's loss.

His 90-out-of-100 process grade among defensemen in shots, scoring chances and ice time suggests the production is sustainable. Josi averages 3:07 of power-play time per game, second among all Nashville skaters, and contributes 0.36 power-play points per game in his recent sample. The Predators have three games remaining this week on Thursday, Saturday and Tuesday, giving him strong volume to build on Thursday's output.

What to do

• Start Josi in all formats with three games left this week on Thursday, Saturday and Tuesday.

• His elite process grade and power-play role support his position as a top-tier fantasy defenseman.

• Managers can confidently deploy him in daily formats for the remainder of the week.
