The Predators are expected to recall a defenseman from the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League before the game. It might be Jordan Grosswho leads Milwaukee in scoring among defensemen with 31 points in 45 games.
The Predators are also without defenders Ryan McDonagh et Alexandre Carrier. Both are assessed daily due to upper body injuries. It’s possible, but rather unlikely, that either of them will return once morest the Rangers.
