Ellis in Predators' lineup with Stanley Cup in the building

Ryan Ellis is playing.

There was some uncertainty with respect to the Nashville Predators defenseman's status due to an undisclosed injury sustained in Game 5, but he's giving it a go in Game 6.

Ellis has been a force on the blue line for Nashville during the playoffs, and the Predators need him Sunday, as the club must win in order to force Game 7 on Wednesday.
