PREDATORS HOPING MIKE FISHER IS READY FOR GAME ONE OF STANLEY CUP FINAL
Predators captain Mike Fisher said he feels a lot better and his goal is to be available during the Stanley Cup Final that begins tomorrow night (Monday, May 29, 2017). Fisher skated for the first time with his teammates since being injured May 18 late in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals. He took a knee from Anaheim defenseman Josh Manson off the right side of his head and hasn’t played since. The Predators will play Pittsburgh for the Stanley Cup. Coach Peter Laviolette says getting a player back on the ice always is a positive sign but declined to comment on Fisher’s status. The team is hoping that Fisher will be ready to go for game one of the Stanley Cup. Fisher is the only player on the Predators roster who has played in a Stanley Cup Final when he was with Ottawa back in 2007.
