Emelin (knee) will be in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Panthers, Adam Vingan of The Tennessean reports.

EDGE Analysis

After making a brief stop in Las Vegas, Emelin is ready to make his Nashville debut and is apparently fully recovered from the knee surgery he underwent in April. The Russian defender's former Montreal teammate P.K. Subban is also in the early game lineup, so it will be interesting to see if coach Peter Laviolette chooses to reunite the two on a defensive pairing, if only for this preseason game.
