Status report
Pacioretty will be a game-time decision. The forward has not played since Oct. 14. Jones likely would come out of the lineup if Pacioretty can go. ... Patrick, a forward, and Martinez, a defenseman, did not make the trip. ... Predators coach John Hynes said he would check with trainers before deciding whether Forsberg would be in the lineup; he has missed nine games because of an upper-body injury … Nashville reassigned forward
Michael McCarron
to Milwaukee of the American Hockey League, and defenseman Ben Harpur was assigned to Milwaukee on a conditioning loan.
