Erat Sits:
Predators forward Martin Erat missed Friday's contest against Chicago and is doubtful for tonight's game against St. Louis.
Erat suffered a strained hip flexor when he stepped on a stick and fell to the ice at the end of Wednesday's practice. He participated in Friday's morning skate, but received treatment afterward.
Trotz said Erat, whose 33 points are third-best on the team, has a chance at returning Tuesday against Anaheim.
For Chicago, talented forward Martin Havlat missed the contest with a groin strain.
