Mikhail Sergachev of the Tampa Bay Lightning, after being seen on the ice in a regular jersey during the team's morning skate, has been confirmed to miss his third consecutive game tonight against the Florida Panthers due to an injury sustained in last Tuesday's matchup against the St. Louis Blues. Meanwhile, the Nashville Predators have made a roster move, recalling goaltender Yaroslav Askarov from the Milwaukee Admirals as Kevin Lankinen is currently day-to-day with an illness. Askarov, who was recently seen with a new shaven look, will be backing up starting goaltender Juuse Saros in tonight's game. This marks Askarov's first time as a backup at home for the Predators.
Juuse Saros will start for the Preds with Yaroslav Askarov the backup. This is Askarov's first time as backup at home for the Preds.
