Dunn (upper-body/illness) will not play in Game 1 vs. the Avalanche.
Dunn missed the final 11 games of the regular season with an upper-body injury. Dunn missed Sunday's practice due to an illness and the combination of issues will be enough to keep him out of Game 1 in Colorado. With Dunn out, Marco Scandella will skate on the second pairing with Colton Parayko.
Goalie Start
Grubauer will start Game 1 vs. the Blues.
Tolvanen is expected to be a healthy scratch in Game 1.
Tolvanen had a nice season, scoring 11 goals with 11 assists in 40 games. However, according to the Predators projected lineup, they will go with a heavier lineup which would have Tolvanen sitting in Viktor Arvidsson's return. Taking Tolvanen out will surely hurt the Predators' power-play.
