Originally selected in the first round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Barron leaves Montreal after registering 13 goals and 18 assists in just 109 career games spread out across parts of four seasons. He scored just one goal and did not register an assist in 17 games with the Habs this season.

Saros will make his league leading 26th start of the season when the Predators host the Rangers on Tuesday. Nashville's franchise netminder is winless in his last eight starts, posting a lowly .885 SV% across that stretch. Saros still boasts a respectable .908 SV% on the season but a lack of goal support has left him with a disappointing 6-14-5 record. That being said, he's got a good chance of finally getting back in the win column on Tuesday as the Predators enter action at -150 on the money line.

Josi has not played since December 10th and will not play on Tuesday but appears to be inching closer to a return. The 34-year-old Josi has 23 points (7G / 16A) in 29 games this season. The Predators have opted to run a five-forward group on their top powerplay unit with Josi out of the lineup.

Svechkov has played nine games with the Predators this season, the first of his career, scoring two goals. The 21-year-old forward was the 19th overall draft pick of the Predators in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. He has eight points (5G / 3A) in seven games with the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) this season.

Svechkov will take a seat on Thursday as Ryan O'Reilly and Gustav Nyquist make their returns to the lineup. Svechkov has two goals and zero assists in nine games this season.

Annunen will make his second start as a Predator when Nashville travels to Dallas to take on the Stars on Thursday. Annunen was sharp in a losing effort in his Preds debut, allowing just two goals on 29 shots in a 3-0 defeat in Montreal last Thursday. The 24-year-old netminder owns a 6-5-0 record and an .879 SV% in 12 appearances split between the Avalanche and Predators this season. He's a longshot to secure his first win as a Predator on Thursday with Nashville entering action at +185 on the money line.

Haula has been battling an undisclosed ailment the past few games but hasn't missed any action. The 33-year-old has 11 points (5G / 6A) in 31 games this season.

Josi suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's game against the Calgary Flames and did not return. The 34-year-old Josi is only day-to-day but is a crushing loss for the Predators' blueline. He has 23 points (7G / 16A) while averaging 24:59 time-on-ice through 29 games. With Alexandre Carrier (upper body) also out, and placed on Injured Reserve, the Predators have recalled Kevin Gravel from Milwaukee (AHL).

Haula has been battling an undisclosed ailment the past few games but hasn't missed any action. He will be a game-time decision on Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings. The 33-year-old has 11 points (5G / 6A) in 31 games this season.

Gravel has played 132 career NHL games but has exclusively been an AHL played since a 23-game stint with the Predators in the 2022-23 season. The 32-year-old defenseman has five points (1G / 4A) in 20 games with the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) this season.

Saros will make his league-leading 24th start of the season when the Predators host the Flames on Tuesday. Saros is in the midst of a six game losing streak, registering a lowly .886 SV% across that span. He still owns a .910 SV% on the season despite the poor stretch of play, but a lack of goal support has his record sitting at 6-12-5. Luckily for Saros, he has a great chance of getting back in the win column on Tuesday as the Predators enter action at -180 on the money line.

Jayden Struble will be a healthy scratch on Monday against the Anaheim Ducks, allowing Barron to re-enter the lineup after a one-game absence. The 23-year-old Barron is averaging 15:29 time-on-ice through 13 games, recording one point (1G / 0A), 15 blocks, and 15 hits.
