Tonight, the Predators will complete their final back-to-back set of the season and their season series with the Panthers.
Nashville (27-21-2) bested Florida on Monday evening, with Nick Cousins netting the game-winning goal and Juuse Saros making 39 saves in net. Another victory tonight would give the Preds a split in their eight-game season series with the Panthers.
The Predators did not hold a morning skate on Tuesday. Forward Brad Richardson is listed as day-to-day in his recovery from injury, while the remainder of Nashville's injured players are considered week-to-week.
The Panthers (31-14-5) started Chris Driedger in goal on Monday, but switched him for Sergei Bobrovsky a few minutes before the conclusion of the second period with Nashville leading 2-1. It's unclear which Floridian netminder will get the nod in net tonight.
Below is a Preds projected lineup based on Monday's game:
