On the tail end of a back-to-back, a night after losing 2-1 to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Predators will turn to Saros between the pipes against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 29-year-old Saros allowed three goals on 21 shots (.857 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. He has a 2.89 GAA and .897 SV% in 53 games this season (18-28-6).

Sissons exited Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights after only 3:35 time-on-ice due to a lower-body injury and will be sidelined week-to-week. The 31-year-old Sissons is averaging 14:22 time-on-ice and has 21 points (7G / 14A) in 72 games this season.
The Predators will turn to Saros for the 53rd time this season when they host the Blues on Thursday. Saros was excellent in his last outing, allowing just one goal on 35 shots in a 3-1 victory in Carolina on Tuesday. It was a second consecutive victory and a bright spot in what's been a very difficult season for Nashville's franchise netminder. Saros and the Predators enter action on Thursday at +120 on the money line.
Englund will be the odd-man out on the Predators blue-line when they travel to Carolina on Tuesday. Jordan Oesterle will draw into the lineup in his place.
