Status report
The Predators held an optional morning skate. Coach Andrew Burnette said it would be a game-time decision on whether they will again use 11 forwards and seven defensemen like their 4-3 win at the Calgary Flames on Saturday. ... The Oilers also held an optional morning skate. Kapanen will return from a knee injury; it will be his first game since Oct. 19. ... Lazar will replace Frederic at forward.
