The Nashville Predators are expected to see a familiar - yet new - face in the lineup tonight versus the Vancouver Canucks (at 7 p.m. CT).
Vernon Fiddler started his career with Nashville (25-19-8) in 2002 and was traded back to the Preds on Saturday. Based on Monday's practice rushes, the 36-year-old veteran is expected to center Nashville's fourth line on Tuesday. The Canucks (23-23-6) start a six-game road trip this evening and have dropped their previous three contests.
On Tuesday morning
, the Preds placed Harry Zolnierczyk on Injured Reserve and recalled Pontus Aberg from Milwaukee (AHL).
A projected lineup for the Preds, based on Monday's practice, is below:
