Goaltender Juuse Saros (day-to-day) was present at the Predators' morning skate on Tuesday.
Nashville (18-17-1) will begin a three-game homestand with two games against the Dallas Stars. The Preds are riding a five-game winning streak and are tied for the final playoff spot in the Central Division. Saros missed Sunday's game, but netminder Pekka Rinne recorded the win versus the Blackhawks. Winger Filip Forsberg (upper-body injury; day-to-day) missed both games in Chicago, while defenseman Matt Benning returned to the lineup after missing Saturday's contest.
The Stars (11-12-9) are six points back of the Predators in the standings but have played four fewer games. Dallas lost both games this past weekend to the Panthers.
Below is a Preds projected lineup based on Tuesday's morning skate:
