Schenn had a shot on goal and six hits in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Red Wings.
Schenn still doesn't score much -- he has just six points on the season and hasn't cracked the scoresheet in 16 games. However, he's a pretty good source of peripheral stats with 168 hits (good for fifth on the team) and 63 blocked shots (sixth), along with a plus-3 rating. Just don't expect Schenn to come anywhere near the 22 points he posted last season.

Predators' Luke Schenn: Finally bags elusive first goal
Rotowire
Schenn notched his first goal of the sesaon in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Schenn's first season in Nashville has been largely forgettable, especially since he's spent most of it sidelined with a lower-body injury. He has just six points in 36 games, which will make it tough for him to match the 22 points he recorded last season, split between the Canucks and Maple Leafs. Schenn's currently skating on the Preds' second defensive pairing alongside Ryan McDonagh.

Predators' Luke Schenn: Logs assist in win
Rotowire
Schenn managed an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Stars.
Schenn has three helpers over his last five contests, but that's about as good as it gets for him on offense. The 34-year-old has held down a steady bottom-four role this season when healthy. He's managed four assists, 21 shots on net, 58 hits, 26 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 21 appearances. Barring a significant uptick in offense, Schenn is best left off most fantasy rosters.

Predators' Luke Schenn: Rare helper in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Schenn recorded an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
Schenn has been a consistent presence in the Preds' lineup since returning from a lower-body injury in late November. He's skated in 16 of 17 games since then, but has only two helpers to his credit. This shouldn't come as a surprise, as he hasn't been much of a scorer historically. Schenn, who continues to skate mainly on the third pairing, has 20 blocked shots and 48 hits through 17 appearances this season.
