Tonight he faces a Wild team that has gone 3-0-2 while scoring 3.40 goals per game in their last five.

Rittich stopped 36 of 38 shots in the Flames shootout win in Philadelphia on Saturday.

With the Blues in town tonight on the second half of a home-and-home, the Predators will stick with what worked on the weekend.

The 24-year-old netminder is still looking for his first win on home-ice, having gone 0-3-0 with a. 2.97 GAA and .887 SV% at Bridgestone Arena so far.

Head coach Jon Cooper called Stamkos "day-to-dayish" and said he hopes he'll play by the end of the week.

After tonight, Tampa Bay has three more games this week--Wednesday vs. St. Louis, Friday in Washington and Saturday vs. Carolina.

Hart's inconsistent season continues, as he followed-up his four-game winning streak with a four-game losing skid while allowing just nine goals on 100 shots (.910 SV%).

Edler was forced to leave Saturday's game in the first period after sustaining an upper-body injury. Edler's injury is not serious and he is expected to skate before Monday's game to see if he can play in Philadelphia. If he can't play, Oscar Fantenberg will likely replace him in the lineup and Tyler Myers would see PP2 time.

Roussel has been sidelined by a knee injury since mid-March, so he'll go to Utica to get back up to game speed before making his season debut with the Canucks. Roussel played pretty well in his first season with the Canucks, totalling a career-high with 31 points (9G / 22A) in 65 games.
