The Nashville Predators and Florida Panthers have announced their rosters for the back-to-back contests at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.
Predators Head Coach Barry Trotz told the media this past weekend that, because there will be three games in 48 hours, his lineups will skew a little younger. He added that Florida’s squad is more likely to be veteran-filled as they don’t have a game (or travel) the next day.
Nashville has a game against the Washington Capitals in Baltimore, Maryland on Tuesday.
Below are the rosters for both the Preds and the Panthers. Former Nashville players playing for Florida in the games are Scottie Upshall, MARCEL GOC, Mike Santorelli and former Milwaukee Admirals captain Nolan Yonkman. You’ll also notice that not a single player on either team will play in both contests, not surprisingly.
Neither game will be broadcast on TV or radio.
