It’s been five weeks and four days since we last saw Filip Forsberg in game action. The Nashville Predators were 17-8-1 before the star forward landed on the IR, and went 8-7-2 without him. Tonight, Forsberg makes his return to the ice as the Predators take on the Toronto Maple Leafs.
For the first time since November 10, the Predators’ top line will be fully operational. Before Forsberg missed 17 games, linemate Viktor Arvidsson was sent to the IR for an upper-body injury. The JoFA line has played 13 games together this season but has been effective when together.
