Gaustad is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, and will not suit up for Tuesday's game against the Senators, Adam Vingan of the Tennessean reports.

EDGE Analysis

The news comes as a bit of a surprise, as there were no reports indicating Gaustad was injured until he did not take the ice for pregame warmups ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Ottawa. His day-to-day label suggests the injury likely isn't serious, however, so the 33-year-old forward could return to action as soon as Thursday against the Maple Leafs. Colton Sissons is set to replace Gaustad in the Predators' lineup for Tuesday's game.
