The Preds are in Detroit tonight to (hopefully) cash in on two more points in this weird, odd, strange playoff race.
Juuse Saros posted a very nice shutout on Saturday against the Chicago Blackhawks. However, that big win came at a price...Viktor Arvidsson left the game with “upper body discomfort” from an apparent neck or head injury after running into Kirby Dach. However, Arvidsson was photographed walking to the charter plane for the Detroit trip, so that’s a very good sign. There’s been no update on his status, but I’m hopeful it’s nothing serious.
Tommy Novak was recalled from Milwaukee/Chicago, but the Predators have enough guys on the taxi squad to fill this hole if necessary.
