Fabbro will draw in for Friday's game in Chicago in place of Ryan McDonagh, who the Predators are opting to rest on the tail-end of their back-to-back. Fabbro has three goals and ten assists in 54 games this season.

The Blue Jackets have been outscored 8-2 in their last two games (0-2-0) but will turn to Greaves for the second straight game on Thursday against the Florida Panthers. Greaves has played well since being called up, allowing two or fewer goals in two of three appearances (1-2-0), but allowed four goals on 28 shots (.875 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Blue Jackets enter action as significant +331 road underdogs.

Fantili has not played since January and was originally expected to return this season. Fantilli ends the season with 27 points (12G / 15A), 115 shots, and 46 hits, in 49 games, one of the few bright spots on the Blue Jackets' season.

Aston-Reese has been limited to only one NHL game this season but could draw back into the Red Wings lineup after being recalled on an emergency basis. The 29-year-old has 29 points (14G / 15A) in 59 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL).

The Blue Jackets will turn to Greaves between the pipes for the third time in the last four games on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Greaves has been stellar in two games since his most recent call-up, allowing two or fewer goals in each contest, including saving 37 of 39 shots (.949 SV%) on Saturday in a 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. That said, the Blue Jackets enter action as significant +292 road underdogs.

Colorado has claimed they are going to play it safe with Miles Wood's lower-body injury as the team nears the playoffs and will have him sit out his second straight game on Tuesday vs. Minnesota. The 28-year-old's 24 points (9G/15A) in his first season in Colorado marks the fifth time in the last six years that he has reached 23+ points but not surpassed more than 27 points.

Gaudreau did not play in the Blue Jackets' 4-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Thursday but will return to the lineup on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers. Gaudreau has nearly been a point-per-game player in the second half of the season, scoring 31 points (4G / 27A) in his last 33 games after scoring only 25 (7G / 8A) in his previous 42.

The Flyers will turn to Fedotov for his first NHL start on Friday against the Buffalo Sabres. The towering 6'7 netminder made his NHL debut earlier this week, saving 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%), entering a 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders in relief. Head Coach John Tortorella praised Fedotov's performance after the contest. The Flyers enter action as +111 road underdogs.

Gaudreau was a surprise scratch on Thursday, with the Blue Jackets not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Columbus' 9.75 million-dollar-man has just 11 goals on the season, but has managed to rack up 45 assists in 75 games.

Fasching will take a seat on Tuesday as Simon Holmstrom will draw back into the lineup. Fasching has four goals and seven assists in 43 games this season.

Alexandre Carrier will return to the Predators lineup from a three-game absence, sending Fabbro to the press box as a healthy scratch. Fabbro has 13 points (3G / 10A) in 54 games this season.

Christiansen has spent the last nine games with the Blue Jackets but has been loaned to the Cleveland Monsters (AHL), where he has spent most of the season. The 24-year-old Christiansen has 40 points (13G / 27A) in 54 games with Cleveland.

Merzlikins and Daniil Tarasov have been alternating starts lately, and with Merzlikins battling a lower-body injury, the trend will likely continue on Monday. On Saturday, Merzlikins recorded his first win in nearly a month, saving 30 of 33 shots (.909 SV%) in a 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Jenner did not play on Saturday due to an illness and will also miss Monday's game against the Colorado Avalanche. Jenner was playing well before exiting the lineup, recording six points (3G / 3A) in his last eight games.
