Forsberg (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

It looks like the Predators avoided disaster and Forsberg will not miss an extended period of time. Forsberg was forced to leave Tuesday’s game in the late stages and did not return. He was not on the ice for Wednesday’s optional practice and head coach Peter Laviolette said Forsberg will “probably” be a game-time decision on Thursday.

The Predators have activated Filip Forsberg (hand) from IR.

Forsberg was considered questionable heading into tonight’s game in Toronto but activated from IR suggests that he will return to the lineup tonight. Forsberg has missed the last 18 games but is expected to return to the top-line with Ryan Johansen and Viktor Arvidsson. Forsberg had 14 goals and eight assists (22 points) in 26 games before getting hurt.

Forsberg (hand) is “really close” and could play on Monday.

Forsberg has missed the last 18 games with a hand injury and could be in the lineup in Toronto. Forsberg was on the ice for Monday’s morning skate but roared on the fourth line so it remains to be seen if he will play tonight. Forsberg told reporters that he is “feeling good” but it’s up to the coaches.

Forsberg will return from his three-game suspension on Saturday.

Forsberg was suspended for the last three games but will be back on the top-line tonight in Montreal. After returning from injury, Forsberg picked up one goal and three assists in two games before getting suspended. On the year he has 16 goals and 22 assists (38 points) in just 39 games.

Forsberg (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.

Forsberg practiced on Monday and took part in Tuesday’s morning skate but he stayed on late which suggests he may not return to the lineup quite yet. However, the Predators did not rule him out either so Forsberg’s status remains in question. Consider him a game-time decision.

Forsberg (upper-body) skated on the top-line in Monday’s practice.

Forsberg appears to be nearing a return after missing one month with an upper-body injury. Forsberg skated with Ryan Johansen and Viktor Arvidsson at Monday’s practice, but participated in a no-contact sweater, which suggests that he might not be ready for Tuesday’s game.
