The Lightning's roster for the matchup has now been announced, and there are some clear players to watch extra closely during it.

Logan Brown will be back on the ice for the Lightning tonight. The professional tryout (PTO) addition had an excellent first pre-season game for the Bolts, as he scored a goal against the Carolina Hurricanes. Now, he will look to impress again, as it will help his chances of getting a deal for the season.

Lightning top prospect Conor Geekie is also set to play against the Predators. The 6-foot-4 had a dominant performance against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday (Sept. 25), posting two goals (including the game-winner) and an assist. He has looked very good this pre-season, and he is making his case for a spot on the Lightning's NHL roster because of it. Another good game would only help his chances more.

Lightning offseason addition Jesse Ylonen is another player to watch during this matchup. The 24-year-old winger is one of the many Lightning forwards aiming to earn a spot in their bottom six.

Here is the Lightning's full roster for their contest against the Predators.

Forwards: Logan Brown, Mitchell Chaffee, Dylan Duke, Jaydon Dureau, Conor Geekie, Gage Goncalves, Maxim Groshev, Niko Huuhtanen, Milo Roelens, Conor Sheary, Gabriel Szturc & Jesse Ylonen

Defensemen: Declan Carlile, Emil Lilleberg, Tobie Paquette-Bisson, Nick Perbix, Derrick Pouliot & Steven Santini

Goalies: Brandon Halverson & Jonas Johansson
