Predators to activate Cullen from injured reserve

The Nashville Predators will activate forward Matt Cullen off of injured reserve, making him available for the team's upcoming road trip that begins Wednesday night in Edmonton.

Cullen skated on a regular forward line at Monday's practice, setting him up for his first game action since suffering an upper-body injury Sept. 24 during a preseason game against Tampa Bay.

"We're anxious to get Matt back in the lineup, as he is a veteran who can contribute in a number of situations," General Manager David Poile said.

To make room for Cullen's addition to the roster, the club has placed forward Rich Clune on waivers, with the intention of assigning him to Milwaukee of the American Hockey League.
