Part four of the Nashville Predators five-game home stand arrives tonight when they host the Florida Panthers (at 7 p.m. CT).
Nashville has been perfect during their extended stay at Bridgestone Arena to this point. The Preds tied the game in the third period and prevailed in a shootout, 3-2, on Thursday night against the Arizona Coyotes in their most recent contest.
The Predators had a day off on Friday. Viktor Arvidsson (Injured Reserve; lower-body) and Filip Forsberg (IR; upper-body) have both missed the team's last two games (with Forsberg missing time since Dec. 30). Nashville held a full morning skate on Saturday and were joined by Arvidsson and Forsberg. Mattias Ekholm was absent.
Florida returned from their bye week last night and posted a 4-3 overtime win over the Vegas Golden Knights at home. Goaltender James Reimer made 33 saves in the victory; Roberto Luongo remains on IR.
\[Update: Arvidsson Activated from IR; Gaudreau Assigned to Milwaukee\]
Below is a projected lineup based on the Predators morning skate:
