Ribeiro's return.
The Nashville Predators will skate playmaking center Mike Ribeiro in Game 5 versus the San Jose Sharks on Saturday after consecutive scratches - and wins - on home ice in Games 3 and 4.
He contributed just a single assist in Nashville's first nine postseason starts this spring, and saw the opposition carry a strong majority of the run of play while he was on the ice.
Ribeiro's expected to slot in a third-line role with Calle Jarnkrok and Viktor Arvidsson while Mike Fisher continues to center James Neal and Colin Wilson.
