Schenn (illness) is considered day-to-day ahead of Game 6 against the Canucks on Friday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schenn's status may not be determined until closer to puck drop Friday but the Preds recalled Kevin Gravel from AHL Milwaukee just in case. The 34-year-old Schenn isn't exactly an offensive dynamo considering he is goalless in his last 31 contests during which he generated a lone helper.

Schenn (illness) will miss Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Schenn was a surprise scratch before warmups, and this explains why. Tyson Barrie will enter the lineup in a bottom-four role to cover for Schenn's absence. If the Predators lose Tuesday, Schenn will have to wait until next season to play again.

Schenn had a shot on goal and six hits in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Schenn still doesn't score much -- he has just six points on the season and hasn't cracked the scoresheet in 16 games. However, he's a pretty good source of peripheral stats with 168 hits (good for fifth on the team) and 63 blocked shots (sixth), along with a plus-3 rating. Just don't expect Schenn to come anywhere near the 22 points he posted last season.

Schenn notched his first goal of the sesaon in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Schenn's first season in Nashville has been largely forgettable, especially since he's spent most of it sidelined with a lower-body injury. He has just six points in 36 games, which will make it tough for him to match the 22 points he recorded last season, split between the Canucks and Maple Leafs. Schenn's currently skating on the Preds' second defensive pairing alongside Ryan McDonagh.

Schenn managed an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Schenn has three helpers over his last five contests, but that's about as good as it gets for him on offense. The 34-year-old has held down a steady bottom-four role this season when healthy. He's managed four assists, 21 shots on net, 58 hits, 26 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 21 appearances. Barring a significant uptick in offense, Schenn is best left off most fantasy rosters.

Schenn recorded an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Schenn has been a consistent presence in the Preds' lineup since returning from a lower-body injury in late November. He's skated in 16 of 17 games since then, but only has two helpers to his credit. This shouldn't come as a surprise, as he hasn't been much of a scorer historically. Schenn, who continues to skate mainly on the third pairing, has 20 blocked shots and 48 hits through 17 appearances this season.
