Roman Josi News

The Predators placed Josi on injured reserve in order to make room for the activation of Jeremy Lauzon. The 34-year-old Josi has 23 points (7G / 16A) in 29 games this season. His next chance to return to action will be on Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings.

Josi has not played since December 10th and will miss at least one more game after being ruled out of Thursday's contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 34-year-old Josi has 23 points (7G / 16A) in 29 games this season. His next chance to return to action will be on Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings.

Josi has not played since December 10th and will not play on Tuesday but appears to be inching closer to a return. The 34-year-old Josi has 23 points (7G / 16A) in 29 games this season. The Predators have opted to run a five-forward group on their top powerplay unit with Josi out of the lineup.

Josi suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's game against the Calgary Flames and did not return. The 34-year-old Josi is only day-to-day but is a crushing loss for the Predators' blueline. He has 23 points (7G / 16A) while averaging 24:59 time-on-ice through 29 games. With Alexandre Carrier (upper body) also out, and placed on Injured Reserve, the Predators have recalled Kevin Gravel from Milwaukee (AHL).

Josi will miss his sixth consecutive game with an upper-body injury, but he appears close to returning to the lineup. The fact that he travelled with the team suggests he could play Thursday in Pittsburgh.

Josi missed the Predators' previous game due to an undisclosed injury and will not play Tuesday vs. Buffalo as he is considered day-to-day with the injury. The 32-year-old is a massive loss for the Predators, as he leads the team in points with his 18 goals and 59 points through 67 games prior to the injury.

Josi suffered an undisclosed injury Saturday vs. Winnipeg and is questionable to play Sunday. The Predators did not have an update on his status post-game so consider him a game-time decision for Sunday.

The Predators had an outbreak before the Christmas break, so on the day where they activated six skaters, they also added three new players to the protocol list, including Josi.

Josi was in the final year of his seven-year deal that carried a $4.0M AAV cap-hit. Josi will go from being one of the biggest bargains to the third-highest paid defenseman when his new contract kicks in. Josi is currently tied for second among defensemen in points with 13 (5G / 8A) in 11 games.

Josi is expected to miss his fourth consecutive game tonight vs. the Ducks. The Predators have been rotating people out of the lineup to give them rest, so they’re definitely not going to rush Josi back in. He was on the ice for the morning skate, but skated as an extra.

When Josi originally missed Friday’s game in Vancouver, the Predators called it rest but now he will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury. The injury likely isn’t overly serious and the Predators are just being cautious with their captain given their position in the standings.
