The Nashville Predators recalled Ben Guite today as a precautionary measure for Thursday night's game. According to John Glennon, Joel Ward did not practice today but is expected to be in the lineup on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes.
With the forecast for one to three inches of snow threatening to cripple travel in and out and about Nashville (this is the south, keep in mind) the Preds could not afford to make a move on Thursday when anything could happen.
Here is the full text of the Predators release....
