Our intrepid heroes are in dire straits as they roll into the Honda Center tonight; with just 18 skaters on the roster, there's no margin for injuries heading into the game - what does it say that the Preds didn't even call up Ryan Jones as a safety net? Check out your Game Day Preview, and join us in the comments below for a late-night hockey-fest...

Let's Go Predators!

If I hit a hole-in-one on this grand slam the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

No Erat, Dumont, Wilson, or Weber...

Jeez Louise!

Has it started?

I’m trying to figure out if I’m blacked out from nhl gamecenter…

Watching the start of the boradcast

It looks like there is about 8 people in the arena.

Wow, that lower bowl looks empty

We’ll have to see if it fills up during the game.

NHL.com says it's on NHL Network

I'm trying to figure out if it's on a national network

I guess NHL qualifies. Otherwise, I’m not sure why I’d be blacked out in new york from nashville@anaheim.

Watch out for Corey Perry

Not only does he score for Anaheim, but he runs more goalies than anybody.

Nice play by Tootoo!

A big hit, and draws a penalty in retaliation. That’s exactly what we need him to do….

Tootoo!

I love it. Seems to be falling back into his ways.

Welcome back Tootoo...

…we missed you and what you do.

That power play looked awful...

But in 5-on-5 they look pretty good so far.

It's like a church in the arena...

I’ve been to some Preds games where the crowd what sparse, to say the least, but we were still loud, nonetheless.

Nice shift for the Santo line here!

Lots of pucks going directly to the net… keep it up, boys!

Hey, we didn't score on a breakaway.

Surprise, surprise.

Cheap slashing call on Tootoo there

Every player in the league takes a whack at the goalie like that… boo!

Is the team more aggressive as a whole...

…with Toots back? Or is it just a response to Anaheim’s play?

yeesh, Klein for hooking...

But that means nothing...

If we have nobody there.

I see plenty of aggression from the forwards, but it seems like everytime we win the puck battle and send it to the point, there’s nobody there.

Christie kicks it high and short...Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25...He dishes it back to Wycheck...He throws it across the field to Dyson...

Scatchard - Santorelli - Thuresson

When I saw this as our second line I was worried, but they’ve really been buzzing.

Too many penalties

I can hear Crispy now “the international sign for dysentary”

OK, that's enough penalties for now

Why was the whistle blown?!?!

He didn’t have control of the puck it was just up against the post!

Throw the red flag Trotz!

Not a big fan of having Belak fight Parros there

It only serves to wake the crowd up.

All I hear is silence.

Nifty pass by Arnott to Hornqvist there

That’s a hard pass for a righty to make to another righty like that…
