By now, you might know which Nashville Predators are participating in the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.

Predators stars Filip Forsberg and Juuse Saros are joined by Gustav Nyquist in representing Nashville in Montreal, Quebec, donning the colors of Sweden and Finland, respectively.

Fans looking to catch Forsberg and Nyquist can watch Sweden take on Canada at 7 p.m. Wednesday night in the first game of the 4 Nations tournament on TNT.

To set expectations, how are the Predators' players lining up?

For Sweden, Forsberg occupies the second-line left wing spot next to Los Angeles Kings winger Adrian Kempe and Vancouver Canucks star Elias Pettersson, Flutp Shinzawa of The Athletic reported Tuesday.

Further down the lineup, Nyquist links up with Boston Bruins center Elias Lindholm and former Predators forward Viktor Arvidsson. Forsberg also featured on Sweden's second power play unit, but no dice for Nyquist.

As for Saros, Finland head coach Antti Pennanen would not commit to a starting goalie or a No. 1 goalie ahead of Thursday's game against Team USA.

That cracks the door open for former Predators goalie Kevin Lankinen to potentially see some playing time in the tournament for Finland.

Other former Predators featuring in the tournament include Erik Haula (NJD, Finland), Mattias Ekholm (EDM, Sweden), and Mikael Granlund (DAL, Finland).
