Allison was the No.52 overall pick in 2016 and is expected to make his NHL debut after just eight AHL games. Allison spent four years at Western Michigan University and has scored four goals with five assists (nine points) in eight games with Lehigh Valley (AHL) before earning the call-up.
Stamkos will miss his third straight game on Thursday and will not be available for Saturday's rematch vs. the Panthers. His next chance to play will be Monday vs. the Hurricanes.
Chrona was a fifth-round pick in 2018 and just finished his second season at the University of Denver. Chrona was 7-11-0 with a 2.47 GAA and .907 SV% in 18 games in 2021.
Vrana was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Richard Panik on the third line on Tuesday. Vrana has not scored in 11 games, firing just nine shots on goal over that stretch.
Bunting appeared in five games with the Coyotes a season ago but has spent the entire 2021 season in the AHL. The former fourth-round pick leads Tucson (AHL) with 19 points (7G / 12A) in 16 games. He'll replace Drake Caggiula on the fourth line.
Forsberg has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury and will likely miss at least a couple more weeks. This is obviously a huge loss for the Predators, who are also without Ryan Ellis, Matt Duchene and Brad Richardson.
