Josi shone in the sun with the two assistants on the Predators’ two goals in the first period. However, he could not prevent the third loss in a row in regulation time from Nashville. On a personal level, the Bernese has 41 points in 39 matches. Never before has a Tennessee franchise defender done so well at this time of the season.
