Thomas Novak, Luke Schenn Traded To Pittsburgh
7 mins agoOn Wednesday evening, the Pittsburgh Penguins traded left wing Michael Bunting and a 2026 fourth-round selection in exchange for Nashville Predators center Thomas Novak and defenseman Luke Schenn. Novak has been deployed as a middle-six center in Nashville. This season, he has tallied 22 points (13 goals, nine helpers) with five of the points coming on the power-play. However, during the 2022 and 2023 seasons, Novak tallied 43 and 45 points respectively. He will look to bounce-back in the Steel City. Schenn is a physical defenseman who carries little offensive upside. Through 61 games this season, Schenn has tallied just five points but has added an impressive 228 hits (3.7 per game) and 76 blocked shots (1.2 per game). Fantasy managers should expect Novak to play on the third forward line while Schenn will find a role on the bottom pairing.
