Status report
Predators coach John Hynes said there was one lineup decision remaining on defense, which appears to be Fabbro replacing Carrier based on the players that stayed on the ice at the end of Nashville's morning skate Saturday. ... Saros will start after Lankinen made 29 saves in a 4-1 win at the Calgary Flames on Thursday. ... Demko will start after Martin made 26 saves in an 8-5 win against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday. … Podkolzin, a forward, will be a scratch for the first time this season. ... Hoglander will move to the top line after being scratched against Anaheim, and Garland moves from that spot to the third line. … Boeser, a forward, rejoined practice Friday and hoped to play, but will miss his sixth straight game because the incision scar from Sept. 26 hand surgery re-opened.
