First, it was Pekka Rinne. Out for several games after taking Kevin Fiala‘s knee to his head. Then Viktor Arvidsson and Dan Hamhuis. Both came back, only to see Arvidsson break his hand and go right back to injured reserve. P.K. Subban soon followed, and now Kyle Turris is out with injury. This the season trend for the Nashville Predators.
None of this is ideal, yet, the Predators continue to lead the Western Conference, and sit just behind the surprisingly surging Buffalo Sabres. However, the question remains how long with this last.
