The Phoenix Coyotes' chances of beating the Nashville
Predators in Wednesday's pivotal Game 3 got a little
better.
According to The Tennessean, the Predators have suspended forwards Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn for Wednesday's tilt.
"The Nashville Predators have a few simple rules centered around doing the right things," General Manager David Poile said in a statement released by the team. "We have always operated with a team-first mentality and philosophy. Violating team rules is not fair to our team and their teammates."
Poile would not add details to why the players were suspended, but reports are surfacing that the two were out late in Scottsdale prior to Game 2, which was a 5-3 Coyotes win.
Radulov and AKostitsyn were spotted in Scottsdale at 4am on the eve of Game 2. Suspended for Game 3 by club.

Kostitsyn has recorded a goal in both games, whereas Radulov has just one point in the series so far, a power play assist he earned in Game 2.
The series shifts to Nashville with the Coyotes leading 2- 0, so the suspensions clearly come at a bad time for the Predators.
