Status report
The Predators did not hold a morning skate. … Nashville is expected to dress the same 11 forwards and seven defensemen it used in a 2-1 loss at the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday. … Saros could start after Annunen made 16 saves at Philadelphia. ... Fabbro will play after missing one game because of an undisclosed injury and will replace Christiansen, a defenseman.
