Predators' Frederic Allard: Recalled from AHL

Allard was recalled from AHL Chicago to the taxi squad Thursday.

Allard has recorded eight points and a plus-10 rating through seven AHL games this season. The Predators will be without Roman Josi (upper body) for at least a week and Ryan Ellis (upper body) for at least three more weeks, so Allard brings depth to the blue line.
