Defenseman Adam Pardy will make his season debut for the Nashville Predators. Pardy, 32, began the season with Milwaukee of the American Hockey League before he was signed with Nashville on Nov. 30. "It's rewarding, when you start the year (in the AHL) and after you go through a year like last year," said Pardy, who played 23 games last season with the Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers. "To get back to the NHL and find a role again, it's been a difficult road. I've been taking it each day at a time, but I'm happy for this chance." Nashville is 3-7-2 on the road this season and 1-6-1 over the past three seasons at American Airlines Center. "We're going to need a really good game, recently we haven't walked away with many points in this building," coach Peter Laviolette said. "So we need to be better than what we've been here." Goaltender Pekka Rinne will start, looking for the 250th League win. He has won four of his past five starts and stopped 25 shots in a 4-3 win against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.
