In terms of injury news, Trotz said forwards Patric Hornqvist and Brian McGrattan — both out with what Nashville calls “upper body” injuries — have resumed skating. Trotz said Hornqvist could return Tuesday against Vancouver.
Good news for Hornqvist, who is an important piece in the Preds offense. He has 17 goals and 29 points in 55 games.
Despite getting moved back onto a scoring line, Hornqvist still appears day-to-day. The Preds' sniper has no points and a minus-3 rating through seven games.
To start out with, Nashville Coach Barry Trotz said Cal O’Reilly and Patric Hornqvist were nicked up and bruised but “should be good for tomorrow.” They didn’t practice today at Rogers Arena.
Stay tuned for a further update prior to tomorrow's game.
