The Nashville Predators will set up for four consecutive games at home, beginning tonight against the St. Louis Blues (at 7 p.m. CT).
The Preds (33-12-9) picked up six of eight points from their recent four-game road trip to New York and Eastern Canada. With Filip Forsberg back from his three-game suspension, the Predators dressed a fully healthy lineup for just the third time this season when they defeated the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. Nashville is 3-0-0 this season with a full complement of players.
St. Louis (34-21-3) dropped their last game, 4-1 on Sunday to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Blues have lost the first two meetings of the season with Nashville (0-2-0) and will visit the Preds at Bridgestone Arena twice this month to conclude the teams' season series.
The Preds held an optional morning skate on Tuesday, below is a projected lineup based on Monday's practice:
