Game Notes
NSH
?Rinne (15-10-2, 2.31 GAA, .919 Sv%) will likely start for the Predators
?Rinne started the season with a fantastic 14 games, going 9-2-1 with a .944 Sv%. In his last 16 games though he's gone just 6-8-1 with a .895 Sv%
?Back-up Juuse Saros is 3-0-1 in his last 3 starts with a .972 Sv%. That includes Nashville's most recent win against Montreal. So it's possible he gets an extra start here
?Nashville's been missing some key players due to injury this season, but they had Subban (out 19 games) and Arvidsson (out 21 games) return to the line recently
?Filip Forsberg has been skating and his return seems close too. Forsberg's been out since November 29th but is still tied for the team lead in goals with 14
TOR
?Hutchinson (2-2-2, 3.39 GAA, .878 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Andersen and Sparks are both being careful with their injuries, so Hutchinson gets another start. Expect Kaskisuo to back-up again
