Game 4 Projected Lineup: Predators at Coyotes

This is it. The Nashville Predators must win or go home.

The Preds felt they were the better team for the majority of Game 3, but a called-back goal, defensive lapse and ill-timed penalty put them down in their best-of-five series, 2-1, to the Arizona Coyotes. Viktor Arvidsson scored again and Juuse Saros made 24 saves in the loss on Wednesday.

Following the contest, Nashville Head Coach John Hynes said he would consider making changes to this lineup for the pivotal Game 4. He also declined to announce his starting goaltender for the game. (Game 4 at 1:30 p.m. CT on Friday. Watch Game 4 on FOX Sports Tennesse, NHL Network; Listen: 102.5 The Game).
