Status report
The Predators are expected to dress the same lineup for the fourth straight game... McCabe will miss his second consecutive game after taking a puck to the head and leaving during the second period of a 5-3 win at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. ... Reaves will return after serving a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse during a 4-3 overtime win Nov. 16; he will replace forward Alexander Nylander.
