Lindback was called up from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday, tsn reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lindback won't be much more than a practice goalie, as the Predators will likely allow starter Pekka Rinne to skip practices and game-day skates in order to keep him fresh for postseason contests. With the Admirals, the 29-year-old Lindback posted a 31-20-2 record, along with a .908 save percentage -- not exactly numbers to instill confidence in the coaching staff if the netminder needed to suit up.
