Predators' Forsberg, Josi battled playoff injuries
Christopher Hanewinckel / USA Today
Playing injured in the Stanley Cup Playoffs isn't uncommon, just ask a pair of Nashville Predators stars.
Regular-season leading scorer Filip Forsberg told reporters Saturday he suffered a back injury, and still isn't 100 percent healthy, while top-pairing defenseman Roman Josi played through a broken nose and finger.
Forsberg struggled in the franchises longest playoff run to date, scoring only four points in 14 games with a minus-11 rating.
Josi, meanwhile had one goal and eight assists in the postseason while averaging nearly 28 minutes of ice time. His injuries will prevent him from joining Switzerland at the World Championship.
