Status report

Gudas had an illness and missed the game against the Blackhawks on Saturday. … The Predators claimed forward Reid Boucher off waivers from the Devils on Saturday. "We watched a little bit of him, and our scouts obviously know a lot more than we do as coaches," Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. "Thought it would be a good opportunity for him to come in and maybe add to our lineup. Just looking at his the few games that I did watch and some of the highlights that I watched and some of his numbers, he's a guy that can really shoot the puck. He's got a great release."

Giroux has three goals and two assists in his past five games. ... Johansen has four goals and three assists in his past five games and is tied with Forsberg and Subban for the Predators lead with 16 points.
