Latest news
Pinchuk scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche.
Pinchuk's first NHL goal was a beauty, a spinning backhand that got over Mackenzie Blackwood in the first period. The 24-year-old Pinchuk has played the last two games due to the absence of Jonathan Marchessault (lower body). Pinchuk has two points, seven shots and a minus-1 rating over seven appearances to begin his NHL career. If he can build some confidence and momentum, he'll be able to stick around on Nashville's third line.

Pinchuk registered an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Senators.
Pinchuk made his NHL debut Saturday, logging 11:10 of ice time, including 2:12 on the power play. He filled in on the third line for Mavrik Bourque (upper body). Pinchuk isn't guaranteed to stick in the lineup once Bourque is healthy, but getting his first point in his debut is a good first impression. Expect most of Pinchuk's minutes to come in the bottom six this season.

Pinchuk was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Sunday.
Pinchuk played for the Admirals in Saturday's AHL contest before being called back up to the NHL ahead of the Predators' three-game week. He nearly made Nashville's Opening Night roster after an effective season with KHL Minsk in 2025-26, during which Pinchuk compiled 31 goals and 66 points across 65 regular-season outings. It remains to be seen whether Pinchuk will find a spot in the lineup or if he's just up as an extra forward.
