The Predators are seeking their first road win of the season as they visit T-Mobile Arena and the Vegas Golden Knights (at 9 p.m. CT).
Nashville (3-2-0) nearly pulled off their second-straight, improbable comeback when they scored three times in the third period to tie Saturday's game against the Kings, but Los Angeles answered with three of their own for a 7-4 triumph. The Preds practiced on Monday in Las Vegas and saw Rocco Grimaldi, who has missed the previous two games with a lower-body injury, skate on the fourth line. Additionally, Daniel Carr was put on waivers on Tuesday, according to Preds General Manager David Poile.
Vegas (4-2-0) beat the Kings in their most recent game, a 5-2 win in L.A. on Sunday.
Nashville held an optional morning skate on Tuesday. Below is a Preds projected lineup based on Monday's practice:
