Status report
Barrie will make his Predators debut if his equipment arrives in time for the game, Nashville coach John Hynes said; Barrie was acquired in a trade with the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. ... Lankinen will start after Saros started the previous five games. ... Forsberg, a forward, wore a non-contact jersey during the Predators morning skate and is expected to miss his ninth straight game. ... Nashville could dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. ... The Panthers will dress the same 11-forward, seven-defenseman lineup it used in a 4-1 win at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday.
