Defensemen P.K. Subban and Shea Weber are set to face off in Nashville for the first time since they were traded for the other in 2016.
Nashville (33-21-5) has dropped three in a row, including a 3-2 loss to the Red Wings on Tuesday night. Last month, after falling to the Wings on Jan. 4, the Predators responded in their next game with one of their best efforts of the season to top the Montreal Canadiens, 4-1. Following a similar recipe tonight would be just fine with those wearing Gold.
Montreal (31-18-7) has been on a tear in the month of February, collecting points in all five of their games and winning three of them.
The Preds held an optional morning skate on Thursday and were joined by Miikka Salomaki (Injured Reserve). Below is a Predators projected lineup based on Tuesday's game against Detroit:
