Alexander Radulov was held off the scoresheet for the first time this season in a 3-0 loss to St. Louis Tuesday. Radulov has notched a point in each of his three games this season entering this contest and should be considered the favorite to leads the Predators in scoring during the postseason.

Alexander Radulov will play in Nashville on Saturday for the first time since rejoining the club. Radulov scored in his season debut on Thursday in Pittsburgh. However, he still has to win over the fans of the city he bolted from after the 2007-08 campaign. Radulov was still under contract with the Predators when he decided to leave for Russia. "I'm happy to be back and excited to play the first game at home. It will be fun I think," Radulov said. "It's a good building to play because people love hockey here. It will be jam packed tonight, so I'm excited, can't wait."

Alexander Radulov played "ok" according to head coach Barry Trotz in his first NHL game in almost four years. Radulov bolted the Predators after the 2007-08 season even though he had one year remaining on his contract. He is finishing that season now and will become a restricted free agent at the end of the season if he does not re-sign with Nashville in the interim. "I thought he was OK," Barry Trotz said. "For all he has gone through the last 10-12 days, he hasn't skated a lot, I thought he was fine. He's polished. For a guy who hasn't played over here for four years, I thought he was OK. The game is a lot different here than it is in Europe. He's adjusting quite well."

Alexander Radulov scored a goal Thursday night in his first game back with the Predators after a four year hiatus in Russia. The 15th overall draft pick in 2004, Radulov potted 44 goals and registered 51 assists in 145 games for Nashville from 2006-08. However, he left after his second season in the NHL with one year remaining on his entry-level contract to play in the KHL. Now that he's back in the Music City, pick him up if he's available in your free agent pool. He should be owned in 12-team leagues.

Alexander Radulov will play in his first NHL contest since 2007-08 on Thursday night in Pittsburgh. He will play alongside Patric Hornqvist and David Legwand. Don't be surprised if he's a little rusty because he has skated just two times since his KHL club was knocked out of the playoffs in early March and he'll have to readjust to the NHL game after coming from overseas. Radulov has a great deal of offensive skill and he is worth gambling on for the remainder of the season and beyond should the Predators lock him up to a new contract.

Alexander Radulov isn't required to return to the KHL after playing in Nashville this season. "There has been a lot of talking about it," Radulov said. "I didn't say anything, I didn't promise anything to anybody." Radulov will become a restricted free agent this summer. The Predators are hoping to keep him beyond the 2011-12 campaign.

Alexander Radulov has returned to the fold for the Nashville Predators and he will be available to play on Thursday night against Pittsburgh. He took his physical Wednesday morning and the club officially lifted his suspension to pave the way for his return to the organization. It's unclear right now if he will suit up and face the Penguins, but he will travel with the team and said he's ready to go when he gets the chance. He participated in Nashville's practice on Wednesday on a line with Patric Hornqvist and David Legwand.

Alexander Radulov is reportedly back in Nashville. Radulov and the Predators are expected to hold a press conference on Wednesday. Radulov is worth grabbing in fantasy leagues and definitely someone to keep in mind when drafting in a playoff league. Although he's a gamble after spending four seasons in the KHL, it's not far-fetched to think he could lead the Nashville Predators in points in the playoffs.

While the team will not confirm, Alexander Radulov indicated via Twitter that he is on his way to Nashville. Players spoke about Radulov as though he will be in a Preds uniform while the likes of coach Barry Trotz toed the line. However you read into it, there appears to be a degree of certainty with respect to the 25-year-old joining the club for the stretch drive and postseason.

Alexander Radulov could return to the NHL by Thursday. Radulov has spent the last four years in the KHL after bolting the Predators with a valid contract. Apparently Radulov's agent and the KHL have made an agreement that will allow Radulov to play for Nashville the rest of the season. He will become a restricted free agent and then it is up in the air as to what will happen as he could return to the KHL next season or see what happens to him in the NHL. In any case, the Predators get a stud scorer the rest of the season and in the playoffs. He is a must-get once he returns for the rest of the season in all formats as he can score.
