Predators team scope

The Predators are battling food poisoning heading into the game. Forwards Ryan Johansen and Craig Smith missed more than half of a 5-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena on Friday because of illness, and Predators general manager David Poile said several players have been affected. "Last night we got into a situation where we suspect that we're dealing with some food poisoning in Detroit," Poile said. "I can't be too specific. Obviously we have a game tonight and we're doing some roster management right now. We'll have some more clarity, obviously, when we get closer to the game and at warmup, but we've got a lot of guys that are sick right now." It is unclear who will be available to play for the Predators on Saturday. Forward James Neal and defensemen Roman Josi and P.K. Subban addressed the media and said they felt good. Eight of Nashville's 10 goals this season have come on the power play.
