Jason Dickinson of the Dallas Stars accomplished what Radko Gudas of the Florida Panthers failed to do: he took defending Norris Trophy winner Roman Josi out of the division indefinitely.
It was announced this afternoon that Josi was out week-to-week with an upper-body injury. The Nashville Predators are unusually tight-lipped about player injuries, reporting everything simply as either upper-body or lower-body, so we are unlikely to get any further information from them.
However, it seems extremely likely that the injury came on a hit late in the third period of Sunday night’s game, as Stars forward Dickinson checked Josi headfirst into the boards.
