Predators' Thomas Novak: Ready to rock

Novak (upper body) will play Sunday against Vancouver, according to Predators Radio Host Max Herz.

Novak might occupy a bottom-six role in the lineup following a six-game absence. He has three goals, one assist and 22 shots on net across 12 appearances this season. Novak's return could make Michael McCarron a healthy scratch versus the Canucks.
