The Nashville Predators (27-39-8, 62 points) continue their three-game road trip with a visit to the Columbus Blue Jackets (33-30-9, 75 points) Tuesday at Nationwide Arena.
Juuse Saros will get the start in goal for the Predators, who are coming off a 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday and looking to snap a three-game skid.
Elvis Merzlikins will start for the Blue Jackets, who are fighting for their postseason lives as they sit two points back of the New York Rangers for the second Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.
