Josi (upper-body) is not expected to play on Thursday.

Josi is expected to miss his fourth consecutive game tonight vs. the Ducks. The Predators have been rotating people out of the lineup to give them rest, so they’re definitely not going to rush Josi back in. He was on the ice for the morning skate, but skated as an extra.

Josi (upper-body) is not expected to play vs. Dallas on Tuesday.

When Josi originally missed Friday’s game in Vancouver, the Predators called it rest but now he will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury. The injury likely isn’t overly serious and the Predators are just being cautious with their captain given their position in the standings.

Vrana will be back in the Capitals lineup on Tuesday.

Vrana has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, but he will replace Alex Chiasson in the lineup tonight. Vrana, who has played a prominent role in the Capitals lineup for most of the season, has picked up just 19 points (10G / 9A) in 56 games this season. He should start the game with Evgeny Kuznetsov and T.J. Oshie.
