Game Day: Blue Jackets vs. Preds

The Nashville Predators wrap up their home exhibition schedule tonight when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets. It's the second meeting between the two clubs in this preseason - the first outing resulted in a 3-2 loss in overtime for the Preds.
Nashville's first home preseason contest came Saturday, a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The game included goals from Mike Fisher, P.K. Subban, Mike Ribeiro and Cody Bass, combined with a winning performance from goaltender Marek Mazanec in net, stopping 23 of 26 shots.

"Every game has had something we're trying to look at," Laviolette said. "It's not a full group and everything yet, but there's a line, there's a person, there's an opportunity, so those things will continue to get evaluated [tonight]."

Subban will be
in the lineup once more
, as well as Fisher, Ryan Johansen, and James Neal, among others. Goaltender Pekka Rinne is also on tonight's roster, the first time he'll be dressed this preseason after returning from the World Cup of Hockey.
