Predators vs. Wild Projected Lineup: Changes, Lots Of Them
Looks like Peter Laviolette is changing things up for Tuesday’s game against the Wild.
Alright, Christmas is over and now it’s back to hockey. The Predators were embarrassed by the Kings 4-0 in their last game played last Thursday. With that, Nashville looks to be shaking things up for its contest against Minnesota on Tuesday night.
The Predators held a full morning skate on Tuesday. P.K. Subban wasn’t present and has missed the last four games. It looks like Reid Boucher will be playing in his second game as a Predator while Austin Watson will be bumped to the second-line and Craig Smith down to the fourth-line. Smith has just one goal in his last 23 games played.
