With Arnott likely out with an injury, Dumont will look to continue his offensive prowess as the Predators meet the Stars on Wednesday for the second time in five nights.

Arnott is day-to-day after suffering a bruised hand on Monday, when Nashville (2-1-0) defeated Chicago 3-2 in a shootout to spoil the Blackhawks' home opener. The Predators official Web site, though, reported that Arnott - tied for the team lead with two goals and second with four points - will sit out this contest and a home-and-home series with Columbus starting on Friday.

Comments:

• This had better be a step up from the last meeting.
• As stated previously, many bad things need to happen to Tootoo tonight.
• Missed the 1st period
• Saw the replays, though, Robidas' goal was great, and I disagree that Morrow was interfering with the goalie on the disallowed one. He was pushed in with no real chance to get away.
• Finally, Brunnstrom is in the lineup!
• Great goal by Mikey to start the second!
• Preds pull back even, with yet more awkward bounces.
• Brunnstrom scores in his debut!
• Level again...
• Bunnstrom with a second! Great job by him in his first match .
• I wonder, how many have scored hat-tricks on their debut? It's not entirely out of the question tonight...
• Onto the third...
• I'm not going to argue the Erat goal, as it could have been over the line, and the call on the ice was initially for a goal, but it seems as though they need to review or revise the policy about going with the on-ice call if they want to get it right...
• That's how you make a Debut -- Fabian Brunnstrom becomes just the third player in NHL history to record a hat-trick in his NHL debut!

Go Stars!
