Red Wings' Olli Maatta: Should play Friday

Maatta (upper body) should return to the lineup versus Nashville on Friday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Maatta has sat out the last two contests after he was injured versus the Flyers on Dec. 22. Maatta has a goal and five assists in 27 games this season. He should slot into a bottom-four role if he's given the green light against the Predators.
