The Nashville Predators didn’t play their best in last night’s Game 7 but now a couple of injuries are coming to light.
There are certainly a number of reasons that the Nashville Predators didn’t play well in the series finale. We are sure that even more will come to light about it in the coming days.
This morning, news came out about a couple of injuries to key players that may have hurt the Predators at the end of the series. They mostly came from International Teams currently playing in the IIHF Championships
Both Sweden and the Swiss teams announced that Predators players Filip Forsberg and Roman Josi would not be joining their teams because of injury.
Predators, reporter Jeremy Gover did a great job reporting both of these on his Twitter Feed:

There are links on both Tweets to the announcements by their teams.
We are sure that more information will be coming out about these two players and other possibly other players like Craig Smith as well in coming days but wanted to get this out to you.
