Speaking of Forsberg, the Swedish forward became the third player in Predators history to reach the 500-point milestone in Saturday's OT loss to Vegas. Forsberg (483) passed Martin Erat (481) and moved into sole possession of third place on the Predators' all-time points list on Nov. 8 at Seattle.
Forsberg leads Nashville in points this season with 32 (14g-18a), including 29 points (12g-17a) in his last 29 games dating back to Oct. 22 vs. Philadelphia. He's recorded four three-point games in that time frame - Oct. 27 vs. St. Louis (3a), Nov. 1 at Edmonton (1g-2a), Friday at Anaheim (1g-2a) and Saturday at Vegas (3g). His 34 three-point games are the most in Predators history. He is also tied with David Legwand (120) for the second-most multi-point games in Predators history.
Forsberg also made waves across the NHL this week, earning honors as one of the league's "Three Stars" for the week ending Jan. 1. He led the NHL in goals (5) and points (tie, 5g-2a-7pts) across three contests to power the Predators to a 1-1-1 week. He scored once in Tuesday's loss to Dallas before registering back-to-back three-point performances on the road. It marked the second time in Forsberg's career (601gp) that he has posted three points in consecutive team games, following a three-game run from Feb. 21-25, 2017 (7g-2a-9pts). Forsberg, who established career highs in goals (42), assists (42) and points (84) in 2021-22, currently leads Nashville in both goals (14) and points (32) through 35 appearances this season.
