The Nashville Predators return home for a single contest against the Winnipeg Jets (at 7 p.m. CT) before heading out on the road for two more.
Nashville (33-24-11) earned four out of six points during a three-game trip to California, including a 3-1 triumph over San Jose on Saturday afternoon. Ryan Ellis returned to the ice on Saturday after missing Thursday's game with a lower-body injury. P.A. Parenteau made his Predators debut on Saturday after sitting out with an upper-body injury since being acquired from the New Jersey Devils on March 1.
The Jets (30-33-6) have lost three in a row, but have earned a split in their two games with Nashville. Winnipeg claimed a 3-0 win over the Preds on Nov. 27 and lost 5-1 on Nov. 25.
The Predators held a full morning skate on Monday and were joined by the recently recalled Miikka Salomaki (who remains on Injured Reserve) and Vernon Fiddler (upper-body injury). Below is a look at Nashville's projected lineup:
