The Nashville Predators may have to spend some time without their Captain, as Mike Fisher left Tuesday night’s tilt against the Colorado Avalanche early. He is listed as day-to-day with an injury being labeled in typically vague hockey fashion as an upper-body injury.
The Captain reportedly hasn’t been on the ice for practice the past two days, indicating that he may not be available for tonight’s matchup in Arizona. His absence would leave a void at the center position and on both special teams units, typically performing on both the powerplay and penalty kill.
Luckily, the Nashville Predators should be able to successfully patch his disappearance without needing to dip into the AHL level.
