The Nashville Predators (27-37-8, 62 points) host the Vegas Golden Knights (44-20-8, 96 points) Saturday at Bridgestone Arena.
The Predators were officially eliminated from playoff contention with Thursday's loss to the St. Louis Blues, while Vegas is currently in first place in the Pacific Division.
Justus Annunen will get the start in goal for Nashville, while Adin Hill will start for Vegas for the second night in a row. Ilya Samsonov took warmups with the Golden Knights, but it is Hill who will make the start despite also starting Friday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks. Samsonov remains on the bench to back up Hill against the Predators.
