Vegas Golden Knights at Nashville Predators: Game Central, How To Watch, Injury Updates

NASHVILLE — The Nashville Predators (2-1-2) return to Bridgestone Arena to kick off a three-game homestand against the Vegas Golden Knights (5-2-0) as part of the NHL's Frozen Frenzy 16-game slate.

The Golden Knights are a different kind of test than anything Nashville saw in Canada last week. Vegas reached the Stanley Cup Final in June before falling to Carolina in six games. The Golden Knights come to Bridgestone Arena atop the Pacific Division, but Tuesday is the second night of a back-to-back. They saw their four-game win streak end Monday with a 4-2 loss in Minnesota.

Jack Eichel is the Vegas engine, scoring three goals and 12 points through the first six games. Mark Stone has seven points, and Mitch Marner, the offseason addition from Toronto, scored the overtime winner Saturday against Los Angeles. The Golden Knights lineup also includes former Nashville Predators defenseman Jérémy Lauzon

The goalie matchup could also be in flux. Carter Hart started in Minnesota, and Adin Hill is expected to start in Nashville on Tuesday. For the Predators, Matt Murray made 18 saves in his first NHL game in nearly three years on Saturday, while Juuse Saros had handled the first four starts. Justus Annunen is eligible to return from injured reserve Tuesday, so how Andrew Brunette handles the crease is worth watching.
