Perbix (upper body) is expected to be in the lineup versus the Avalanche on Tuesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Perbix is set to be included in a seven-defensemen lineup that will allow the Predators to manage his minutes if he's not quite up to speed. He missed the previous three games. The 27-year-old has four points and a minus-11 rating over 25 outings this season.
