Defensemen Ryan Pulock, Dennis Seidenberg in Islanders’ lineup

NASHVILLE — Ryan Pulock got back into the lineup on Saturday night, which Doug Weight had said was going to happen. Dennis Seidenberg got back in too, which was more of a surprise.

Weight decided to sit the Thomas Hickey-Scott Mayfield pair against the Predators to make room for Pulock and Seidenberg, each playing just their third game of the season.

“When you have eight D that can play there’s always sticky points,” Weight said. “Hicks has been one of our most reliable guys since he’s been here, he’s a heck of a player. Last couple games he’s faded a bit, we’ve had a lot of hockey.
