Predators hoping Arnott will return against Coyotes

Feb 2, 2008 - 2:04 PM Phoenix (27-22-2) at Nashville (26-21-5) 8:00 pm EST

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) - The Nashville Predators hope to have Jason Arnott back in the lineup Saturday when they host the Phoenix Coyotes.

Arnott, who leads the Predators with 46 points this season, left Thursday's 4-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets with a leg injury and did not return.

Nashville's captain scored his 18th goal of the season on the power play midway through the first period before suffering the injury. But coach Barry Trotz expects Arnott to play Saturday.

"It's just a little lower leg injury, like a charley horse," Trotz said after the victory. "I don't think it's anything serious. ... I'd say right now that he's probable for the game against Phoenix (on) Saturday."

Arnott's return could limit the Coyotes' chances of picking up their fourth win in five games as the 33-year-old center has 17 goals and 32 tallies in 48 career games against Phoenix.

The Coyotes are looking to get back on track against the Predators after having a three-game win streak snapped Wednesday.

Despite goals from Martin Hanzal and Ed Jovanovski, Nashville squandered a one-goal lead heading into the final period, enduring a 3-2 setback to the Detroit Red Wings.
