Hintz continues to fight through a lingering lower-body issue and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday. He did not take part in the morning skate, so expect Jason Dickinson to centre the second line if Hintz can't play.
Hintz has had a very difficult time staying healthy this season. He continues to battle a lingering lower-body injury but could play Tuesday after participating in the gameday skate. Hintz has been productive when he's in the lineup, scoring five goals with seven assists (12 points) in 14 games.
Duchene left Thursday's game prematurely and the Predators announced that he'll miss at least three weeks with a lower-body injury. With Duchene out, Ryan Johansen will move into the Predators' top-6 on Saturday.
