The Predators' Round One series shifts to Colorado with Nashville looking for a 3-0 series lead (tonight at 9 p.m. CT).
Eight different Preds have found the back of the net so far in the series, with Ryan Johansen, Colton Sissons and Austin Watson leading the club with three points apiece. Nashville held a full morning skate on Monday at Pepsi Center and were joined by Calle Jarnkrok (upper-body; day-to-day) and Yannick Weber (upper-body; day-to-day). Weber also participated in warm-ups prior to Game 2.
Colorado has dropped the first two games of the series but returns home where they went 28-11-2 during the regular season. Defenseman Samuel Girard missed Game 2 with an upper-body injury; it appears unlikely he will return to the Avalanche lineup for Game 3.
Below is a Preds projected lineup based on Monday's morning skate:
