Roman Josi has resumed his march forward in the NHL, following 4 consecutive games without a single point. The Predators captain scored in Nashville’s 4-3 win over Chicago, which was without Philipp Kurashev.
The Bernese defender made it 2-2 in the 26th minute, skillfully deflecting a cross shot from Ryan Johansen. Nashville then took off thanks to successes from Matt Duchene (40th, 3-2) and Mikael Granlund (44th, 4-2), but trembled until the end following the Blackhawks reduced the mark in the 55th .
Roman Josi now has 88 points on his 2021/22 counter including 20 goals, a bar he has reached for the first time in his NHL career. With 7 matches to play for the Preds, it will be difficult for them to reach 100 points. But the important thing for him is to take Nashville, which currently holds the 1st “wild card” in the West, in the playoffs.
