Status report
Saros could start after Lankinen allowed three goals on 20 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. … The Predators did not hold a morning skate. … Sogaard took reps in the starter's end during the morning skate. … Kubalik, a healthy scratch the past four games, could return to the lineup. He took reps on the third line at practice Monday with Pinto and Tarasenko. Senators interim coach Jacques Martin said Kubalik was "injured a little bit at the same time" while he was a scratch. ... Hamonic, a defenseman who will miss his fourth consecutive game, skated wearing a yellow, no-contact jersey. "Hopefully he’s ready to go after the break," Martin said.
