The Nashville Predators will be without forward Mike Fisher for Game 2 against the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night, but they will have defenseman Cody Franson and forward Mike Santorelli in the lineup.

Fisher did not take part in the pregame warmup, while Franson and Santorelli did participate. Fisher suffered a lower-body injury in Nashville's Game 1 loss on Wednesday.

Paul Gaustad is wearing the 'A' in place of Fisher on Friday.

Franson missed the first game of the Western Conference quarterfinal series with an upper-body injury, while Santorelli was a healthy scratch. Santorelli is making his playoff debut for the Predators.
