Predators' Forsberg sidelined 4-6 weeks with upper-body injury

The Nashville Predators will be without forward Filip Forsberg for the next four-to-six weeks as he recovers from an upper-body injury, the team announced Wednesday.

Forsberg sustained the injury Dec. 29 against the Minnesota Wild and has been out of the lineup for the past two games.

It's a key loss for the Predators, as Forsberg leads the team with 34 points.

Prior to 2017-18, the 23-year-old had played all 82 games in three consecutive seasons in Nashville, with his last missed game coming in 2014.
