Status report
The Predators are expected to dress the same lineup they used in a 3-0 win at the Ottawa Senators on Monday. ... Matthews, a center, is day to day. ... McMann, who was recalled from Toronto of the American Hockey League on Tuesday, will make his NHL debut. ... Brodie was placed on injured reserve Monday after missing a 6-2 win at the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday; the defenseman is not expected to be out a significant amount of time, Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said Tuesday.
