THREE THINGS TO WATCH
- NEW LINES: Top line’s got Kailer Yamamoto on the right side while Ty Rattie is out with a muscle injury. Alex Chiasson is making his season debut on 3RW, while Jason Garrison is back in for Matt Benning.
- BACK IT UP: Nashville netminder Juuse Saros will be back in net for the Predators tonight. Saros had to jump into action after Pekka Rinne had to leave the game with an injury. With Rinne now on IR, the Predators will have to get creative in the immediate future. Will the Oilers take advantage of a goalie playing in two games in two nights?
- A BAKER’S DOZEN?: The Predators have owned the Oilers over the last dozen. The Oilers have to overcome sleepy starts and start giving Nashville trouble early. Can they?
