Hague was a surprise scratch on Tuesday, with the Preds not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Justin Barron will dress in his place.



Hague was acquired from Vegas in the offseason and then signed to a four-year, $22 million contract with the Predators. He suffered an upper-body injury earlier in the preseason and has been sidelined for Nashville's first seven games this season. Hague was originally paired with Roman Josi to start training camp but it's unclear if he will return there when he makes his season debut. The 26-year-old is entering his seventh NHL season after putting up five goals, 12 points and 40 PIMs in 68 games played last season.
