Status report

Bourque participated in the Predators morning skate and likely will return after missing four games with an upper-body injury. ... Pinchuk, a forward, could be a healthy scratch. ... Lyubushkin could make his season debut, which means Perbix, a defenseman, would be the odd man out. ... DiPietro will start for the first time since he made 26 saves in a 4-2 win at the Anaheim Ducks on Friday.
