Injury, illness update:
Predators center Vern Fiddler missed Thursday's game with the flu.
He was the latest casualty of the illness, which has affected defensemen Kimmo Timonen and Marek Zidlicky among others. Jordin Tootoo was also a scratch because of a sore hip and missed his first game since Dec. 21.
Predators Coach Barry Trotz said Tootoo was probable for Saturday's game against Anaheim.
Right wing Scottie Upshall was a healthy scratch, two nights after playing his first game since Nov. 15. Right wing Alexander Radulov had the wind knocked out of him on a tough hit by Phoenix defenseman Keith Ballard in the third period, but later returned to the contest.
