Predators' Mike Fisher: Not travelling with team

Fisher (lower body) stayed back in Nashville as the team set out for a two-game road trip.

Analysis:

The Preds return to the Music City on March 30, which will be Fisher's next opportunity to return to the lineup, having already missed Nashville's previous two contests. After a disappointing 2015-16 campaign -- just 23 points in 70 contests -- the center appears to be back on track as he's racked up 17 goals and 24 helpers this year. The veteran continues to log significant minutes -- 16:45 of ice time per game -- and will almost certainly resume his role on the power play once given the all clear.
