Philip Tomasino News

Tomasino was a first-rounder in 2019 but has yet to become a full-time NHLer with the Predators. Last year, he once again split his campaign between the NHL and AHL, recording 20 points (7G / 13A) in 41 games with Nashville. During his time in Milwaukee (AHL), he had 18 points (11G / 7A) in 22 games. Following the additions of Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault in the offseason, Tomasino is going to be battling for a bottom-6 spot in the lineup in training camp.

Tomasino has been reassigned to the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL as Egor Afanasyev and Mark Jankowski were recalled in adjacent moves. Before scoring three points (2G / 1A) in his last three games, Tomasino was limited to only three points (1G / 2A) in his previous 12 and has failed to translate his pedigree from being Nashville's first-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft to the NHL level this season.

Tomasino will return to the lineup on Monday after being a healthy scratch in each of the Predators' previous two games. Kiefer Sherwood will sit in his place. Tomasino has five goals and 12 assists in 38 games this season.

Cody Glass will draw into the lineup in favour of Tomasino, who has been held off the scoresheet in three straight games while recording a -1 plus/minus and three shots on goal. Thursday's game against the Minnesota Wild marks the second time in three contests that Tomasino has been a healthy scratch.

Cody Glass and Juuso Parssinen will be healthy scratches on Monday, allowing Tomasino and Michael McCarron to draw into the lineup. Tomasino is expected to play on the fourth line with McCarron and Cole Smith.

Tomasino was originally suspended indefinetly by the NHL for a dirty hit in the Predators' game Thursday but has been deemed good to play Saturday as he will not be punished further for his actions. The 22-year-old has been having a decent offensive season to start 2023-24, with four goals, 11 assists, 47 SOG, 25 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus in 31 games this season.

Tomasino will re-enter the Predators lineup on Friday as Luke Evangelista is expected to be a healthy scratch. The 22-year-old Tomasino has nine points (1G / 8A) in 21 games this season, averaging 12:39 time-on-ice while playing predominantly with Cole Smith and Michael McCarron

Tomasino has a goal, an assist, six SOG, two PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through eight games but will be a healthy scratch Tuesday vs. Anaheim. The 22-year-old centre will head to the press box as Michael McCarron takes his spot on the Predators' fourth line.

Tomasino will slot back into the Predators lineup on Saturday for the first time since October 17th. The Predators' 24th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft has one point (0G / 1A) through four games after breaking out last season with 18 points (5G / 13A) in 31 games.

Tomasino has an assist, two SOG, two PIMs and a -1 plus/minus through four games to start 2023-24 but will be a healthy scratch Thursday vs. the New York Rangers. Michael McCarron will replace Tomasino on the Predators' fourth line alongside Yakov Trenin and Colton Sissons.

Tomasino missed the Predators' previous game due to an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup Thursday as they take on Arizona. The 21-year-old has two goals, four assists, 19 SOG and two PIMs through 10 games this season.

Tomasino has 12 goals, 20 assists, 24 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 38 games with Milwaukee (AHL) and has been recalled by Nashville Monday for the first time this season. The 21-year-old has previously played in 76 games last season, with 11 goals and 32 points.

Tomasino was selected in the first-round (No.24 overall) in this summer's draft. The 18-year-old centre has had a tremendous start to the 2019-20 season, leading the Niagara IceDogs with 23 points (9G / 14A) in 12 games.
