The Nashville Predators start a four-game road trip and back-to-back set tonight in Ottawa (at 6:30 p.m. CT).
The Predators (22-10-1) swept a three-game homestand and will now try to win their first road game since Nov. 10. Nashville beat Ottawa, 3-1, last week at Bridgestone Arena. Former Senators center Kyle Turris also returned from injury to the Predators' lineup last week. Defenseman P.K. Subban is on the road trip with the Predators, but remains on Injured Reserve.
Ottawa (14-16-4) has split their two games since facing the Predators on Dec. 11. Top center Matt Duchene is on IR for the Sens.
The Predators held a full morning skate at Canadian Tire Centre on Monday and were joined by Subban and Viktor Arvidsson (IR). Below is a projected lineup based on the session:
