Lauzon is expected to miss the next 4-6 months with a lower-body injury.

Nashville announced Tuesday that defenseman Jeremy Lauzon's 2024-25 season has come to an end due to the expectation that he will miss the next four to six months due to a lower-body injury. The 27-year-old shutdown defender had been struggling to create any offensive output in his 28 games before his injury, with just one assist, 25 SOG and 37 PIMs.

Lauzon was limited to 6:19 time-on-ice in Nashville's 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild last Tuesday and has not played since. It's unclear if his lower-body ailment is related to the one that kept him out of the lineup for 10 games earlier this season. The Predators have recalled Kevin Gravel from the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) in a corresponding move.
