Roman Josi - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Assist in return from injury Josi (lower body) finished with one assist and two shots on goal in 26:25 of ice time in his return in Saturday's 3-2 overtime victory over Los Angeles.

Impact He had missed four games. Josi's assist was one heck of a play. He deked around Kings defender Kyle Burroughs in the left circle and took a step before dishing to Jonathan Marchessault for a tap-in at the top of the crease. Josi is an elite fantasy defender, but his minus-21 is a weight that's tough to carry if your league counts that stat. It's reflective of his team's struggles this season, and nothing has changed since he was hurt. The Preds have the fewest wins (10) in the NHL, and their minus-26 goal differential is the second worst. This could be a long season for Josi and his managers.

Removed from IR Josi (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Josi should return to the top pairing and first power-play unit in Saturday's matchup versus the Kings after missing the last four games. He has amassed seven goals, 23 points, 86 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and 32 hits through 29 appearances this campaign.

On injured reserve Josi was put on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Josi hasn't played since Dec. 10 and was already ruled out for Thursday's game against Pittsburgh, so this move doesn't necessarily impact his timetable. Instead, it frees up a roster spot for Jeremy Lauzon, who was activated off injured reserve in a corresponding move. Josi has seven goals and 23 points in 29 appearances in 2024-25.

Ruled out for Thursday's game Josi (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Penguins, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Josi continues to deal with a lower-body injury and will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game. However, he participated in the Predators' game-day skate ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Rangers, so he appears to be making some progress in his recovery. Head coach Andrew Burnette said before Thursday's game that there are "a lot of balls in the air" regarding the defensive pairings against Pittsburgh, so it's not yet clear whether Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) will be able to return from injured reserve.

Ruled out versus Rangers Josi (lower body) will not be in action against the Rangers on Tuesday, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports.

Impact Josi will miss his third straight game due to his lower-body injury but appears to be trending in the right direction after participating in the game-day skate Tuesday. Nick Blankenburg and Adam Wilsby should continue to see significant minutes with Josi, Alexandre Carrier (upper body) and Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) all still sidelined.

Not expected to play Josi (lower body) won't play Saturday versus Colorado, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Impact Josi will miss his second straight game. Nashville is being cautious by not rushing the 34-year-old blueliner back into the lineup too soon. He has seven goals, 23 points, 86 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and 32 hits in 29 appearances this season. With Josi, Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) and Alexandre Carrier (upper body) unavailable, Marc Del Gaizo, Adam Wilsby and Kevin Gravel have been playing for the Predators.

Two helpers Saturday Josi delivered two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.

Impact Josi scored two goals in the 3-2 overtime loss to the Flyers on Friday, and now he delivered two helpers in yet another OT loss for a Nashville team that has dropped four games in a row. The 33-year-old blue-liner remains productive, however, and he's now riding a five-game point streak, a span in which he's racked up five goals and three assists. He's up to seven goals and 10 assists in 15 games in November, with seven of those points (one goal, six assists) coming with the man advantage.
