Trotz says Gill is out

Will Hal Gill play tonight or won’t he? That is the question. Predators Coach Barry Trotz said he didn’t “expect” Gill to play. When asked if Gill was out, Trotz said, “yes.”
When talking to Gill, he sounded like a player who could enter the lineup if needed. The big defenseman who has missed every game this series with a “lower body” injury skated this morning. He did skate for a long time, which would indicate he is out. Still, with Gill, all he needs to do is play maybe 10 minutes or so — more than Ryan Ellis or Jack Hillen have played in games so far this postseason — in order to be effective. Gill has taken part in all team practices and skates this week.
