Goalie Start
Saros led the Predators onto the ice for warmups.
Line Change
Schenn will make his season debut on Friday.
Schenn had to sit out the Lightning's season opener due to salary cap reasons but will play Friday vs. the Blackhawks. The Lightning did not announce who he will replace but it will most likely be rookie Cal Foote.
Goalie Start
Saros led the Predators onto the ice for warmups.
In 2020, Saros set a new career-high in starts (34) but a career-worst in GAA (2.70) and SV% (.914). After posting a .924 SV% in the first two years of his career, Saros is t-14th in SV% (.915) over the last two years. Tonight will be the first time that someone other than Pekka Rinne starts a Predators' season opener since 2009.

Saros is expected to start the Predators season opener in Columbus.

The Predators signed Luke Evangelista to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Nyquist underwent surgery to repair a labral tear of his left shoulder and is expected to be out five to six months.
The Sharks have signed Ozzy Wiesblatt to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Predators have signed Mark Borowiecki to a two-year contract worth $4.0 million ($2.0M AAV).
After spending nine seasons with the Senators, Borowiecki sings with the Predators where he'll serve as a third-pairing defenseman. Borowiecki obviously doesn't provide anything offensively but is a big, physical force, who ranked 11th in the NHL in hits (199) last season.
The Penguins have signed Mark Jankowski to a one-year deal worth $700K.
Jankowski struggled in 2020, going from 32 points in 2019 to just seven points (5G / 2A) in 56 games last year. Jankowski moves on to Pittsburgh, where he is expected to serve as the third line centre behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. He has bounce-back potential but won't be anywhere near fantasy lineups.
The Lightning have signed Luke Schenn to a one-year deal worth $800K.
Schenn served as a No.7 defenseman in Tampa Bay for most of the year but appeared in 25 regular season and 11 postseason games to get his name on the Stanley Cup. With both Jan Rutta and Kevin Shattenkirk likely moving on, there's a chance that Schenn could be a third-pairing defenseman in 2021.
The Canadiens have signed Jake Lucchini to a one-year, two-way ($700K/85K) contract extension.
Lucchini was an undrafted free agent out of Michigan Tech. He was originally signed by the Penguins but was part of a minor league trade to the Canadiens in February. The 25-year-old finished 2020 with 11 goals and nine assists (20 points) in 61 games between Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Laval (AHL).
Stamkos will play in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.
