A rematch from the Stanley Cup Playoffs happens in Denver tonight when the Nashville Predators visit the Colorado Avalanche.
Nashville (11-3-0) has won 10-straight during the regular season over the Avalanche. That's not including the Preds' Round One win in six games over the Avs in the spring. Colorado (7-4-3) has dropped their last three, despite scoring a combined 11 goals in their previous two games.
The Predators held an optional morning skate on Wednesday at Pepsi Center. At Tuesday's full practice, Viktor Arvidsson (Injured Reserve; lower-body) returned to the ice wearing a non-contact jersey. Zac Rinaldo (lower-body injury; day-to-day) has missed the last two games, but was on the fourth line during practice.
Below is a Predators projected lineup based on Tuesday's practice:
