The Nashville Predators return from a five-game trip to begin a stretch of eight of nine games at home into December.
The Preds (13-5-1) went more than a month without losing two games in a row, but have currently dropped their last three (0-2-1). Nashville will be without Viktor Arvidsson (Injured Reserve; 6-8 week recovery) and P.K. Subban (IR) tonight. They did get Dan Hamhuis, Calle Jarnkrok and Austin Watson back on the ice for Thursday's 2-1 loss in Arizona.
Los Angeles (6-11-1) won last night in Chicago, prior to traveling to Nashville. The Kings are 2-3-0 in their last five under interm head coach Willie Desjardins.
Nashville held a full morning skate on Saturday at Bridgestone Arena. Below is a projected lineup based on the session:
