Carrier, a defenseman, likely will not play after missing the third period Saturday; Nashville coach Andrew Brunette said it was precautionary. ... Nedeljkovic will start a 12th straight game; he was pulled after allowing three goals on 16 shots in a 6-4 loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday. ... Letang and Eller are expected to play after each missed a full morning skate. ... Harkins, a forward, took full contact in the morning skate. He has not played since having surgery March 8.
