Status report
The Predators could dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. ... Thompson could make his first NHL start. ... Brossoit, who has made four consecutive starts in place of the injured Lehner, has not practiced the past two days; there was no confirmation on a starting goalie. … Martinez was a non-contact participant during the Golden Knights' morning skate. It was the first time the defenseman skated since taking a skate to the face during a 3-2 win against the Minnesota Wild on Nov. 11.
