He will not play tonight, after serving suspension in Game 4. Healthy scratch for #Preds Fiala-Turris-Smith in the regular season: 32-13 goal differential, 58.67 scoring chance percentage.In playoffs: 0-2 goal differential, 50 scoring chance percentageThat second line for the Predators has been a consistent staple all year, but 5 points in 5 games and overall lack of impact demanded some kind of change.Fiala as a fourth liner ... twitter.com/adamvingan/sta…Fiala-Turris-Smith hasn't been effective in this series, and Fiala had a pretty bad game Friday.
