Status report
McCarron will make his season debut, replacing Tomasino in the Predators lineup. … Sissons will move up from fourth line center to take Tomasino's spot as the second-line right wing. … Bonino participated in the Rangers' morning skate Thursday and will be a game-time decision, coach Peter Laviolette said. Bonino didn't practice Wednesday because of a lower-body injury and was listed as day to day by the Rangers. … If Bonino can't play, Goodrow would center the fourth line with Vesey at left wing and Pitlick at right wing. If he can, Pitlick is expected to be scratched for Vesey, who didn't play in the Rangers' 2-1 win against the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday.
