Josi is expected to miss his fourth consecutive game tonight vs. the Ducks. The Predators have been rotating people out of the lineup to give them rest, so they’re definitely not going to rush Josi back in. He was on the ice for the morning skate, but skated as an extra.
When Josi originally missed Friday’s game in Vancouver, the Predators called it rest but now he will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury. The injury likely isn’t overly serious and the Predators are just being cautious with their captain given their position in the standings.
Saros made 31 saves on 33 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Red Wings on Saturday. Saros has gone winless in his last four starts for the Predators with a .908 SV%. He’ll get another chance against the Red Wings tonight in what shapes up to be a favourable matchup.
Saros’ last start was February 8th in Ottawa, where he allowed four goals on 36 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Senators. Saros is winless in his last three starts, with ten goals against and a .900 SV% to show for it. He has a good chance of picking up a win tonight at home against the Red Wings.

Saros has been incredibly impressive as of late, erasing his slow start and giving up a 2.35 GAA, .926 SV% and three shutouts through 12 starts.

Forsberg practiced on Monday and took part in Tuesday’s morning skate but he stayed on late which suggests he may not return to the lineup quite yet. However, the Predators did not rule him out either so Forsberg’s status remains in question. Consider him a game-time decision.
