Projected Lineup: Predators at Sabres

The Predators have a shot at their first three-game winning streak since October, as they face the Sabres in Buffalo (tonight at 6 p.m. CT).
Nashville (14-10-5) has points in seven of their previous eight games, including a 3-1 win over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday. Preds forward Mikael Granlund returned to the lineup for Tuesday's win and assisted on Nick Bonino's third-period goal. Winger Viktor Arvidsson (lower-body injury; Injured Reserve) is currently the team's only player out with injury.
The Sabres (15-11-6) have points in their last three, including a 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues in their most recent game. Sabres Captain Jack Eichel is on a career-best, 14-game point streak.
