The Florida Panthers will be without Aleksander Barkov with the captain ruled out against the Nashville Predators after not taking part in pre-game warmups.
Barkov was considered a game-time decision after missing the last couple of practices with a lower-body injury.
Head coach Paul Maurice told reporters that the medical team would make the final decision on his availability.
The 28-year-old has 18 goals and 66 points in 62 games this season for Florida.
