The Predators recalled Colton Sissons from Milwaukee (AHL).

Sissons has been out with a lower-body injury since December 27th and spent the Predators' bye week on a conditioning stint with Milwaukee. Sissons just practiced with the team but did not play in a game. He skated as an extra in Sunday's practice, so don't expect him to be in the lineup on Monday.

Sissons was hurt last night vs. the Penguins and was spotted leaving Bridgestone Arena with a protective boot on his right leg. Sissons move to IR means he will miss at least one week, meaning he'll miss the Winter Classic. Yakov Trenin was called up to take Sissons' roster spot.

Sissons set career-bests in goals (15) and points (30) in 75 games a season go. Sissons is an integral part of the Predators bottom-6, ranking second on the team in faceoffs (53.1 percent), first among Predators forwards in SH TOI/GM (1:59) and hits (109). It is the type of contract you don’t see very often for a player with Sissons role but the Predators are making a long-term commitment to him.
