This is a tough break for owners who are relying on Stamkos in the finals this week, but it head coach Jon Cooper said it is not a long-term injury. Stamkos is listed as day-to-day and should travel for the Lightning's back-to-back in Boston/New York later this week.

Saros allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Predators loss to the Devils last Sunday. Pekka Rinne went last night, so Saros will go tonight in Nashville. He has an impressive 2.39 GAA and .924 SV% in 19 games this season. On the road, he has gone 5-2-4 with a 2.65 GAA and .918 SV%.

Saros allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Predators win in Vancouver on March 2nd. Saros has won two straight while allowing a combined five goals on 63 shots (.920 SV%). He has not played a lot this season, but has played great when he spells Pekka Rinne. Saros comes into Saturday at 2-3-1 with a 2.04 GAA and .935 SV% at the Bridgestone Arena this season.

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.

Vrana has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, but he will replace Alex Chiasson in the lineup tonight. Vrana, who has played a prominent role in the Capitals lineup for most of the season, has picked up just 19 points (10G / 9A) in 56 games this season. He should start the game with Evgeny Kuznetsov and T.J. Oshie.

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.

The Capitals are in the midst of their dad trip, and will rotate in their normal scratches as a result. Alex Chiasson is expected to draw into the lineup and take Vrana's spot on the second line. Look for Vrana to take his usual spot in the lineup on Monday.

Forsberg was suspended for the last three games but will be back on the top-line tonight in Montreal. After returning from injury, Forsberg picked up one goal and three assists in two games before getting suspended. On the year he has 16 goals and 22 assists (38 points) in just 39 games.
