If you saw the news that Pavel Buchnevich was activated from the IR and got very happy about the prospects for tonight’s game, well...
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be in.
He’s getting one more game’s worth of rest before returning Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings, and honestly, a healthy Buchnevich is worth one more game out. Will that make a win against the Montreal Canadiens harder for the Blues? Who’s to say? The Predators were struggling before their 6-2 victory against the Blues on Thursday night set them straight.
