Luke Schenn - Remains day-to-day Schenn (illness) is considered day-to-day ahead of Game 6 against the Canucks on Friday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.
Impact Schenn's status may not be determined until closer to puck drop Friday but the Preds recalled Kevin Gravel from AHL Milwaukee just in case. The 34-year-old blueliner isn't exactly an offensive dynamo considering he is goalless in his last 31 contests during which he generated a lone helper.

Kevin Gravel - Called up from minors Gravel was elevated from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.
Impact Gravel's promotion doesn't bode well for the availability of Luke Schenn (illness) or Spencer Stastney (upper body) for Game 6 against the Canucks on Friday. In the minors this season, the 32-year-old Gravel has contributed just 10 points in 63 outings, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him to produce offensively even if he does get into the lineup for Game 6.

Tyson Barrie - Enters lineup, earns assist Barrie posted a power-play assist in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.
Impact Barrie had been scratched for 13 straight games before entering the lineup Tuesday for Luke Schenn (illness). It worked out fine, as Barrie helped out on Roman Josi's game-tying goal in the third period. Barrie had just 15 points in 41 regular-season outings this season, and he'll likely be back in the press box once Schenn is healthy enough to return to the lineup.

Gustav Nyquist - Earns helper in Game 5 win Nyquist produced an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.
Impact Nyquist set up Alexandre Carrier for the game-winning goal in the third period. The 34-year-old Nyquist has a goal, three assists, five shots on net and five hits over five playoff appearances. The winger should continue to fill a playmaking role on the Predators' top line as they return home for another elimination game Friday.

Filip Forsberg - Two helpers in win Forsberg provided a pair of assists, two shots on goal and four hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.
Impact Forsberg helped out on third-period tallies by Roman Josi and Alexandre Carrier to keep the Predators' season alive for another game. Through five playoff outings, Forsberg has been solid with two goals, four assists, 14 shots on net and 17 hits. The 29-year-old winger will continue to play a leading role on offense, which will also see him earn significant power-play minutes.

Alexandre Carrier - Deposits game-winner Carrier scored a goal and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.
Impact Carrier's goal at 12:46 of the third period was the game-winner, allowing the Predators to stay alive for Game 6 on Friday. The defenseman has a point in three straight contests, and he's added five shots on net, 14 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through five postseason outings. Carrier appears to be a lock for a top-four role even though he is mainly in the lineup for his defensive contributions.

Roman Josi - Nets power-play goal Josi scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.
Impact Josi has a goal, two assists, nine shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through five playoff contests. His tally Tuesday tied the game at 1-1. Josi's offense has been a little limited compared to his 85-point regular season, but he should continue to play with urgency as the Predators look to stave off elimination two more times in the first round.
MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Juuse Saros - Keeps season alive Saros stopped 19 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.
Impact It was another low-event game, and Saros did his part this time to keep the Predators' season alive. He gave up just a Nikita Zadorov goal in the third period. Saros has allowed 11 goals on 91 shots through five playoff outings -- those aren't great numbers, but he's done enough to keep most of the games close so far. The 29-year-old is almost guaranteed to get the nod again in Friday's Game 6.

Luke Schenn - Out due to illness Schenn (illness) will miss Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Canucks.
Impact Schenn was a surprise scratch before warmups, and this explains why. Tyson Barrie will enter the lineup in a bottom-four role to cover for Schenn's absence. If the Predators lose Tuesday, Schenn will have to wait until next season to play again.

Juuse Saros - Starting in must-win scenario Saros will protect the road goal versus the Canucks on Tuesday, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.
Impact Saros has allowed 10 goals on 71 shots over four first-round games, but he's gone 1-3 in those contests. That leaves the Predators in a must-win scenario Tuesday, and they'll ride with Saros to try to keep their season going.
