GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - The Phoenix Coyotes hope they won't be down a player, while the Nashville Predators probably will have two returning for Game 5 of their Western Conference semifinal series.

The NHL has scheduled a hearing with Phoenix defenseman Rostislav Klesla on Sunday afternoon regarding his hit on Nashville forward Matt Halischuk in the Coyotes' 1-0 victory on Friday night. Replays showed that Klesla appeared to grab the back of Halischuk's jersey before slamming him into the boards. Nashville coach Barry Trotz called it ``a dangerous hit.''

Meanwhile, Trotz said Saturday that ``there's a high probability'' forwards Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn will be back in the lineup after missing the last two games.

Phoenix leads the series 3-1 and can advance with a win on Monday night.
