Most of this is guesswork.
Amid injury concerns (Alex Steen, Craig Smith), possible returns to the lineup (Colin Wilson), and some new faces (Vladimir Sobotka), both of tonight’s forward lineups are up in the air. We know most of the pieces, but filling in the lines is somewhat tricky.
On defense, things are little more concrete. And of course we know that the two hottest goaltenders in the NHL, Jake Allen and Pekka Rinne, will get the nod in the goal crease.
Anyway, here are your potential starting lineups.
For the Predators, based on tweets and an article from Adam Vingan of The Tennesseean:
Forwards
Filip Forsberg - Ryan Johansen - Viktor Arvidsson
Kevin Fiala - Calle Jarnkrok - James Neal
Colin Wilson - Colton Sissons - P.
