Nashville Predators News
The Bruins have recalled Jeremy Lauzon from Providence (AHL).

Lauzon has spent the entire 2019-20 season in the AHL, amassing 10 points (1G / 9A) in 35 games. Lauzon comes up with Charlie McAvoy going on IR and could make his season debut on Tuesday. The 22-year-old, former second-round pick (2015) had one goal in 16 games with the Bruins last year.

Saros led the Predators onto the ice for warmups.

Saros allowed two goals on 19 shots after replacing Pekka Rinne in last night's loss to the Penguins. He'll get the chance to start the game in Pittsburgh tonight but comes in with his own share of struggles. Saros is 2-2-2 with a 3.14 GAA and .894 SV% in his last six starts and is obviously a risky option against a Penguins team that is 8-2-0 in their last 10.

The Predators have placed Colton Sissons (lower-body) on IR.

Sissons was hurt last night vs. the Penguins and was spotted leaving Bridgestone Arena with a protective boot on his right leg. Sissons move to IR means he will miss at least one week, meaning he'll miss the Winter Classic. Yakov Trenin was called up to take Sissons' roster spot.

Saros will start Thursday in Ottawa.

Saros allowed two goals on 41 shots in the Predators win in New York on Monday. Pekka Rinne won Tuesday but they'll come back to Saros, who was excellent vs. the Rangers. Saros has gone 4-2-1 with a 2.54 GAA and .913 SV% in his last seven starts and should be a decent option in Ottawa but the Senators have won seven of their last eight home games while scoring 3.50 goals per game.

Saros led the Predators onto the ice for warmups.

Saros turned aside 24 of 26 shots in the Predators 4-2 win in St. Louis on Saturday. With the Blues in town tonight on the second half of a home-and-home, the Predators will stick with what worked on the weekend. It is rare for Saros to start two in a row, but Pekka Rinne has struggled as of late. The 24-year-old netminder is still looking for his first win on home-ice, having gone 0-3-0 with a. 2.97 GAA and .887 SV% at Bridgestone Arena so far.

Stamkos (lower-body) won't play Monday but is expected to play this week.

Head coach Jon Cooper called Stamkos "day-to-dayish" and said he hopes he'll play by the end of the week. With Stamkos out, the Lightning are leaning heavily on the Anthony Cirelli line for secondary scoring. After tonight, Tampa Bay has three more games this week--Wednesday vs. St. Louis, Friday in Washington and Saturday vs. Carolina.
