The Nashville Predators will face the Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks on consecutive days in California.
Nashville (13-3-0) erased a two-goal deficit in the third period in Dallas on Saturday to win in overtime, but lost Viktor Arvidsson to an upper-body injury. On Monday, Arvidsson was placed on Injured Reserve. The Ducks have had injury issues of their own, going 2-6-2 over their last 10 games, including a 5-1 loss on Friday to the Minnesota Wild.
The Preds held a full morning skate on Monday at Honda Center and were joined by Calle Jarnkrok (who missed Saturday's game with a lower-body injury) and Dan Hamhuis (IR; lower-body injury). Below is a projected lineup based on the session:

Forwards
Filip Forsberg - Ryan Johansen - Colton Sissons
Kevin Fiala - Kyle Turris - Craig Smith
Miikka Salomaki - Nick Bonino - Ryan Hartman
Calle Jarnkrok / Rocco Grimaldi - Frederick Gaudreau - Zac Rinaldo
Defense
Roman Josi - Ryan Ellis
Mattias Ekholm - P.K. Subban
Anthony Bitetto / Matt Irwin - Yannick Weber
Goaltenders
