The Nashville Predators shuffled up their roster in the wake of last night’s loss to the Winnipeg Jets, icing Mark Borowiecki and Matt Benning on the third d-pair and rearranging the forward lines to put Filip Forsberg and Eeli Tolvanen with the ever-reliable Mikael Granlund—and Nick Cousins, Philip Tomasino, and Tommy Novak together at 5v5 as well as 5v4.
The question on everyone’s minds: would it be enough against the Minnesota Wild?
Connor Ingram got the start for the Predators—and his first career NHL start—as Juuse Saros got his first night off of the season, and three minutes in the newly-assembled Novak line started off with some great chances that drew a penalty.
