Part two of a three-game home stand comes tonight (at 7 p.m. CT) for the Nashville Predators when they host the Minnesota Wild.
Former Preds defenseman Ryan Suter and the Wild have won five straight, led by a resurgent season from veteran Eric Staal. On Tuesday, Nashville turned catastrophe into celebration as they scored six consecutive goals to overcome a three-goal deficit and top the St. Louis Blues. Ryan Ellis and Colton Sissons returned to face the Blues after missing a combined 15 games with upper-body injuries.
The Predators held an optional morning skate on Thursday. Below is a projected lineup based on Wednesday's practice:

Forwards
Filip Forsberg - Ryan Johansen - James Neal
Kevin Fiala - Mike Ribeiro - Craig Smith
Colin Wilson - Mike Fisher - Viktor Arvidsson
Colton Sissons - Calle Jarnkrok - Austin Watson
Defense
Roman Josi - Ryan Ellis
Mattias Ekholm - P.K. Subban
Matt Irwin - Yannick Weber
Goaltenders
Pekka Rinne
Juuse Saros
Note: The Predators have not announced a starting goalie for tonight.
