Nashville Predators head coach Peter Laviolette is hoping Scott Hartnell can push the right buttons once again.
The veteran winger will make his third appearance of the postseason in Monday's Game 6 against Winnipeg, wherein the Predators will look to avoid an early playoff exit.

Among other things, Hartnell's goal will be to "stir the pot a little bit," per Josh Clipperton of the Canadian Press.
Hartnell has appeared in 97 playoff games over his career, scoring 19 goals and adding 28 assists. This year, he's recorded four shots in two games, including three in a Game 4 win over the Predators.
Calle Jarnkrok also took part in the morning skate, with Miikka Salomaki and Ryan Hartman the odd men out.
