The Nashville Predators will likely be without Roman Josi for Thursday's game against Winnipeg as the defenseman deals with the effects of a hit by Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett.

To add insult to injury the Predators are without their top defenseman Roman Josi. Josi was hit hard by Sam Bennett in the second period and wasn’t on the bench to start the third period.

Two years later, Josi set a new career high in notching 96 points in a single season. Josi has also added 45 points counting 12 goals and 33 assists through 91 appearances in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Following the loss of Roman Josi in the second period of the Nashville Predators' 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers, Andrew Brunette expressed frustration with what led to his captain's early exit.
