Jordin Tootoo has been recognized by the local professional hockey writers for his dedication to hockey, Chicago gets some troubling news about its captain, and St. Louis may have lost a key forward to injury last night.
The Nashville Predators couldn't quite catch Detroit in the standings tonight, but they did get a step closer, dropping a shootout decision to the San Jose Sharks, 2-1.
Besides a few more takes on the Alexander Radulov saga, this afternoon's hockey updates are loaded with injury updates, including a star player returning to action for San Jose.
With all the media nuttiness going on in Nashville right now between the Peyton Manning and Alexander Radulov watches, it's perhaps fortunate for the Predators to be in the middle of an extended road trip.
Can the Preds take advantage of a Sharks team which has stumbled and staggered their way through the second half of the season?
