Predators' Roman Josi: Ripples twine in loss
Rotowire
Josi scored a goal on four shots, blocked three shots and went minus-3 in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Predators' Roman Josi: Tallies assist in season opener
Rotowire
Josi posted a power-play assist and blocked five shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over Columbus.
Josi grabbed an apple on the power play during Ryan O'Reilly's game-winning goal. The 35-year-old Josi, as well as the rest of the Predators' roster, struggled a year ago. Josi missed 29 games between a lower-body injury and a concussion, so his power-play assist on the game-winning tally was a welcome sight for all Nashville fans. The star blueliner posted his second-best offensive season just two years ago with 85 points, and he's showcased that he still has a lot left to give. Josi is a clear bounce-back candidate for the 2025-26 season and will challenge many of the league's best defensemen in points if he can stay healthy.
