Game 4 in Denver arrives with the Nashville Predators looking for a 3-1 series lead over the Colorado Avalanche (at 9 p.m. CT).
Colorado raced out to a 4-0 lead in Game 3 and held off the Predators' late push to take the contest and hand Nashville their first loss of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Preds held a full practice yesterday and were joined by Calle Jarnkrok (upper-body injury; day-to-day) and Yannick Weber (upper-body injury; day-to-day). Weber skated alongside Matt Irwin during the practice and could return to the lineup tonight.
Avalanche defenseman Samuel Girard skated at Colorado's optional practice on Tuesday, but is unlikely to play with an upper-body injury.
Below is a Preds projected lineup based on Tuesday's practice:
