Jarnkrok to miss rest of regular season for Predators

Calle Jarnkrok will miss the rest of the regular season for the Nashville Predators with an upper-body injury.
The 26-year-old center was injured by a hit from Winnipeg Jets forward Andrew Copp in the third period of a 3-1 win Tuesday.

Jarnkrok has 35 points (16 goals, 19 assists) in 68 games this season.
"I know that it was listed as the remainder of the regular season," Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. "I think that is what we're comfortable saying at this point."
Nashville (45-14-10), which has the best record in the Western Conference, holds an eight-point lead on Winnipeg for first place in the Central Division, and is tied with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the race for the Presidents' Trophy. The Predators play at the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday (10 p.m. ET; FS-A PLUS, FS-TN, NHL.TV).
The Predators have 13 regular-season games remaining. Their season ends April 7 and the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin April 11.
