Ryan Ellis OUT

Ryan Ellis (lower body) out Tuesday for Predators

Nashville Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis (lower body) didn't take part in the morning skate and isn't expected to play Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

What It Means:

It is expected that Victor Bartley will replace Ellis and play alongside fellow defenseman Mattias Ekholm.

Ellis played in just 58 games last season but matched his career high in points at 27. So far this season he has 1 assist and no goals on 10 shots through 5 games played. Our algorithms project Ellis to tally 36 games over the remaining course of the season.
