Luke Evangelista

23-Year-Old Right WingRW
Nashville Predators
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Evangelista did well enough in his first full NHL campaign to finish ninth in Calder Trophy voting, but there are reasons to be pessimistic about his chances of taking a step forward this season. Evangelista had 16 goals and 39 points in 80 regular-season outings in 2023-24, which is a solid result when you consider that he averaged just 13:57 of ice time. That translates to 2.1 points per 60 minutes, which isn't that far behind Claude Giroux, who recorded 64 points in 82 outings while averaging 20:06. The problem is Evangelista will have a tough time earning a bigger role in Nashville after they signed Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault over the summer. The 22-year-old Evangelista does have offensive upside, but it would be best to pencil him in for 40 points or so in 2024-25. Read Past Outlooks

Pots empty-netter

March 6, 2025
Evangelista scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
ANALYSIS
Evangelista ended his eight-game goal drought with the empty-netter. He picked up three assists in that span, including two in Tuesday's contest against the Bruins after a promotion to the top line at even strength. If he can stay in that spot, he's poised to finish big in 2024-25. That would be a welcome sight -- he's been limited to six goals and 19 points over 49 appearances after posting 39 points in 80 outings in 2023-24.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Evangelista made his NHL debut at the end of February and proceeded to post seven goals and eight assists over 24 contests to close out 2022-23. That's enough of a statement to suggest he's ready to be a full-time NHLer in 2023-24. Top-six minutes and a large power-play role are likely to land in his lap this year. He may be among the most talented of the Predators' prospects, and at 21 years old, he still has plenty of room to grow. He'll likely end up in the neighborhood of 15 goals, 40 points and 10 power-play points in 2023-24. That's more than enough production to be worth a late-round flier in redraft formats.

January 29, 2025
Evangelista, who has been dealing with a lower-body injury, took part in Wednesday's morning skate and might draw back into the lineup against Vancouver, according to Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean.
ANALYSIS
Evangelista has missed Nashville's past seven appearances. If he does return Wednesday, it will likely be in a bottom-six capacity, though he might also see work on the second power-play unit. Evangelista has four goals and 14 points across 39 appearances in 2024-25.
