Fiala says he's back in for Predators in Game 5

Kevin Fiala's absence from the Nashville Predators lineup will apparently be a short one.

The young forward told Brooks Bratten of the club's communications department that he saw his name on the lineup for Game 5 against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night.

Fiala will draw in for veteran Scott Hartnell, while the rest of the lineup is expected to mirror that of Game 4, according to The Tennessean's Adam Vingan.

The veteran Hartnell replaced Fiala in Game 4, which the Predators won 2-1 on Thursday night,

Fiala played in the first three contests in Nashville's second-round series against Winnipeg after appearing in all six games of the opening-round matchup against the Colorado Avalanche.

The 21-year-old scored in two of the three against the Jets before sitting out Thursday. He chipped in with a goal and an assist in the first round.
