Ryan Ellis will probably get into Nashville's lineup on Tuesday. He's been a healthy scratch in the Predators' first two games of the season, but Roman Josi's injury has opened a hole for him on the back end. "I've been waiting all summer to get back at it. It's unfortunate what happened to Josi. It's tough, but that's when people have to step up," Ellis said. "Hopefully I can get in there and make a difference." He registered six points in 32 games last season with the Predators.
