Additionally, he is 4-2-0 with a 2.17 GAA, .927 SV% and one shutout on home-ice this season.

The Predators have activated Filip Forsberg (hand) from IR.

Forsberg was considered questionable heading into tonight’s game in Toronto but activated from IR suggests that he will return to the lineup tonight. Forsberg has missed the last 18 games but is expected to return to the top-line with Ryan Johansen and Viktor Arvidsson. Forsberg had 14 goals and eight assists (22 points) in 26 games before getting hurt.

Forsberg (hand) is “really close” and could play on Monday.

Forsberg has missed the last 18 games with a hand injury and could be in the lineup in Toronto. Forsberg was on the ice for Monday’s morning skate but roared on the fourth line so it remains to be seen if he will play tonight. Forsberg told reporters that he is “feeling good” but it’s up to the coaches.

Saros will start Saturday vs. the Devils.

Saros allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Predators 5-2 loss in Calgary last Saturday. Saros has not won a game since November 10th, allowing 15 goals on 81 shots (.815 SV%) over his last four appearances. Despite some recent struggles, Saros is a great option against a Devils team on the tail-end of a back-to-back. New Jersey has been terrible on the road and Saros is already 1-0-0 against them this season.
