The Predators announced on Monday that Kasimir Kaskisuo will return to the practice squad. This is good news and suggests that Juuse Saros and Pekka Rinne are both in game shape for tonight’s contest. All three Finns are healthy at this time.
Filip Forsberg’s status hasn’t been specified, however. He didn’t play in either game against the Blackhawks. Matt Duchene, Ryan Ellis, Luca Sbisa, and Mark Borowiecki remain injured and unavailable.
Eeli Tolvanen has been hot lately...keep your eyes on Tolvanen, as well as the “Herd Line” of Colton Sissons, Matheiu Olivier, and Yakov Trenin. Quietly, Alexandre Carrier has also been putting a quality defensive product on the ice for Nashville.
