The Nashville Predators return from the All-Star Break on an eight-game point streak as they conclude their season series with the Chicago Blackhawks (tonight at 7 p.m. CT).
Filip Forsberg (Injured Reserve; upper-body) skated at Preds practice without a non-contact jersey and on the team's first line alongside Ryan Johansen and Viktor Arvidsson on Monday afternoon. It remains to be seen if Forsberg will return to action tonight.
Chicago (23-19-7) is 1-2-0 against Nashville (29-11-7) this season and won their last game (against the Detroit Red Wings) before the All-Star Break to snap a four-game losing streak. Goaltender Corey Crawford remains out for the Hawks.
The Predators held a full morning skate on Tuesday, below is a projected lineup based on the session:
