From the Nashville Predators:

Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has recalled forward Triston Grant from Milwaukee (AHL).

Grant, 25 (2/2/84), has appeared in eight career NHL contests, all with Philadelphia in 2006-07, registering one assist and 10 penalty minutes. A season ago, the Neepawa, Man., native posted 11 points (3g-8a) and a team-high 153 penalty minutes in 55 games with the Admirals, and was one of just four AHLers to post more than 150 penalty minutes and a plus/minus rating in double digits (+11). The 6-1, 210-pound left wing scored a goal in the Admirals season-opening, 3-2 win over Chicago last weekend, and has 49 points (21g-28a) and 723 penalty minutes in 253 career AHL games with Milwaukee and the Philadelphia Phantoms since 2005.

John Glennon writes that if he plays tonight in place of Joel Ward, Grant is likely to skate on the Goc/Smithson line (countering my presumption that would fill in with Guite/Belak).
