Annunen will start against the Golden Knights on Tuesday.

Annunen will make just his sixth start as a Predator when Nashville hosts the Golden Knights on Tuesday. The 24-year-old netminder was excellent his last time out, allowing just a single goal on 32 shots in a 4-1 victory in Calgary. He boasts an impressive .930 SV% and a 3-2-0 record since being acquired from the Avalanche. He's e's got a good shot at staying in the win column on Tuesday as the Predators enter action at +110 on the money line.

Saros will start in Winnipeg on Tuesday.

Saros will make his 32nd start of the season when the Predators travel to Winnipeg to take on the Jets on Tuesday. Saros was spectacular his last time out, stopping all 27 shots he faced in a 3-0 victory in Vancouver on Friday. It was the fourth shutout but just the ninth win of the season for Saros. He's got a good chance of staying in the win column on Tuesday as the Predators enter action at +130 on the money line.

Wilsby has not played since December 30th due to a lower-body injury, missing three games, but could return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets.

Novak has not played since December 31st, missing two games, but will likely return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 27-year-old Novak only has nine points (5G / 4A) in 31 games after scoring 45 (18G / 27A) in 71 games last season.

Gravel has been assigned to Milwaukee (AHL).

With Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) on Injured Reserve, the Predators recalled Gravel from the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) for precautionary reasons before being reassigned to Milwaukee. The 32-year-old Gravel is no stranger to the NHL, with 135 games of experience, but has primarily been an AHL player the past three seasons. He has five points (1G / 4A) in 25 games with Milwaukee this season.

Kevin Gravel
Lauzon (lower-body) has been placed on IR.

Lauzon was limited to 6:19 time-on-ice in Nashville's 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild last Tuesday and has not played since. It's unclear if his lower-body ailment is related to the one that kept him out of the lineup for 10 games earlier this season. The Predators have recalled Kevin Gravel from the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) in a corresponding move.
