Hyman was a late scratch from Wednesday’s loss to the Blackhawks and is listed as a game-time decision for Friday’s game vs. the Flyers. Head coach Mike Babcock said he expects Hyman to play, but look for Patrick Marleau to play with John Tavares if he doesn’t.

Kane will miss his seventh straight game but the Sharks are hopeful that he will be back on Saturday. Gustav Nyquist is expected to remain in the top-6 with Kane out.

Cam Ward is set to return in a backup role at the very least, so Delia heads back to Rockford. The 24-year-old is 8-6-4 with a 2.36 GAA and .929 SV% in 19 AHL contests this season.

Arvidsson missed Monday’s practice and skated on the “fifth line” in Tuesday’s morning skate, so don’t expect him to play Tuesday in Anaheim. Luckily for he Predators, Filip Forsberg is expected to draw back into the lineup for Arvidsson.

Kulak was a healthy scratch in Anaheim but will replace Mike Reilly in the lineup vs. the Red Wings. Kulak has three goals and seven assists (10 points) in 44 games this season.

Hyman was not on the ice this morning but head coach Mike Babcock said he thinks Hyman will play vs. the Lightning. Hyman has played well as of late, scoring five goals with two assists (seven points) in his last 10 games.
