Nashville returns home for a Saturday night game on Broadway and will face off against Clayton Keller, Lawson Crouse, and the 6-6-1 Arizona Coyotes.
After an eleven day road trip in western Canada and Seattle, the Nashville Predators finally return home to Bridgestone Arena tonight to take the ice against Central Division rival Arizona Coyotes.
The Coyotes have been perhaps the biggest surprise so far in the Central Division but are coming to Nashville after a loss to another Central Division team, the St. Louis Blues, on Thursday night. Lawson Crouse and Clayton Keller lead the Coyotes in goals while Nick Schmaltz is the points leader so far this season with four goals and 13 points.
Juuse Saros will get the start for the Predators. Nashville will see a familiar face in net for the Coyotes tonight as Connor Ingram, former Predators' back up goaltender, will get the start for Arizona.
Cody Glass skated this morning with the team, but Andrew Brunette says Glass will be a game time decision. Ryan McDonagh is still listed as day-to-day with a lower body injury.
The Preds take on the Coyotes for the first of five home games at Bridgestone Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 pm CT. The organization will have a brief ceremony before the game to recognize Ryan O'Reilly's 1000th career NHL game.
