Turris (coach's decision) remains out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Sharks, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turris has clearly landed in the doghouse, as Saturday marks the second straight game he will be sent to the press box. The veteran pivot has also seen his production fall off the table recently, with him tallying just four points since he returned from a lower-body injury Feb. 6. Turris' next chance to rejoin the lineup arrives Tuesday against the Maple Leafs.

Turris will sit as a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against the Kings, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turris hasn't been very productive lately, notching two assists in his last eight games while posting a minus-1 rating over that span, so coach Peter Laviolette is clearly trying to light a fire under the veteran forward by bumping him from the lineup Thursday. Turris will likely return to action Saturday against the Sharks.

Turris (undisclosed) won't play Thursday against the Kings, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news comes as a complete surprise, as there was no indication that Turris might be in danger of missing Thursday's contest until he didn't take the ice for pregame warmups. The veteran pivot will hope to recover in time for Saturday's matchup with San Jose.

Turris assisted on Filip Forsberg's equalizer in a 3-2 shootout win over the Wild on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Turris contributed three shots on goal in the contest. The center has struggled this season with 21 points in 43 games. His shooting percentage of 12.3 percent is 1.3 percentage points better than his career average, but he battled a lower-body injury earlier in the year. Turris can still provide value via the man advantage, where he has six of his 21 points this year while skating on the first unit.

Turris' first-period goal came on the power play in a 2-1 win over Los Angeles on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

This year hasn't gone the way Turris hoped, but there's still time for him to turn it around. He's hitting on 12.5 percent of his shots right now, and if that continues, success will follow right along with it.

Turris failed to record any significant stats in his return and was a minus-1 against Dallas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Turris was sidelined for the previous 17 games, which included extra time off due to the All-Star break, it's not surprising to seem him sporting a little rust. The 29-year-old should get his scoring touch back soon and might still have enough time to hit the 30-point mark this season.

The Predators activated Turris (lower body) from injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After more than a month on the shelf, the 29-year-old pivot will finally get an opportunity to improve on his 18 points -- six goals and 12 assists -- through 30 games. Turris should immediately slot into a top-six role for the Preds, last serving as the team's second-line center.

Turris (lower body) is considered day-to-day and is could suit up in Thursday's game against Dallas, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turris has not seen the ice since Dec. 27 against Dallas, but appears to be nearing a return. The centerman is day-to-day in the sense that he's evaluated on a daily basis, but he is still on injured reserve per the NHL's media site. Turris was able to practice Monday, but will still need the Predators to activate him off IR before he can officially suit up. Once he's healthy enough, Turris will likely reclaim his spot centering the second line with Craig Smith and Kevin Fiala.

Turris won't suit up Tuesday against the Coyotes, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turris was a full participant in Monday's practice, but he hasn't been deemed ready for game action yet. Colton Sissons will continue centering Nashville's second line with Craig Smith and Kevin Fiala for now, though Turris has a good shot to finally return to the lineup Thursday against Dallas.

Turris (lower body) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turris did not speak to reporters after practice, but considering he practiced with no limitations, a return to action appears to be around the corner. He's yet to be ruled out of Tuesday's home game versus Arizona. The top-two center last dressed Dec. 27, and in 30 games, has recorded 18 points.
