The Nashville Predators begin a stretch of five consecutive games against the Eastern Conference when they host the New York Rangers tonight (at 7 p.m. CT).
The Predators (30-12-7) had a fully healthy lineup on Thursday night for the first time this season and utilized it to blank the Los Angeles Kings, 5-0. Nashville had a full morning skate on Saturday and were joined by every player again.
New York (25-21-5) lost their last game, 4-0 to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but saw the debut of former Preds forward Cody McLeod. McLeod, wearing No. 8, landed eight hits in 12:12 of ice time.
Below is a Predators projected lineup based on Saturday's skate:
