Gravel has just three assists in 38 games this season and is expected to come out of the lineup so Paul LaDue can make his NHL debut tonight vs. the Lightning.

Oesterle, 24, has registered three goals on 15 assists (18 points) in 24 games with Bakersfield this season, but has not appeared in a game with the Oilers. The Michigan native has six assists in 23 career NHL games.

Josi will miss his eighth consecutive game with an upper-body injury, but he is nearing a return, so monitor his status prior to Thursday’s game against the Oilers.

Saros allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Predators’ win in Calgary last Thursday. Saros has been great in his limited action, going 5-3-1 with a 1.44 GAA, .952 SV% and one shutout.

Josi was hurt on a hit from Bruins’ forward Anton Blidh last night and did not return. His immediate movement to IR is not good news and means that he will miss at least seven days with an upper-body injury. He joins PK Subban on IR as the Predators will be without both halves of their top pair.

Josi left after he was hit high but Bruins’ forward Anton Blidh and didn’t come back to the game. Head coach Peter Laviolette thought the hit was “late and dirty.” Monitor his status prior to Saturday’s game in Colorado.
