NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nashville captain Roman Josi is week to week with an upper-body injury the Predators said Saturday, an injury not related to the POTS diagnosis announced by the Predators in June.
The 6-foot-1, 201-pound defenseman played 18 minutes, 9 seconds in Thursday night's 2-1 win over Vancouver. He has one goal and four assists playing the first eight games of this season. Josi already has been selected to Switzerland's hockey roster for the 2026 Winter Games.
Josi, from Bern, Switzerland, said when training camp started that he had worked through an approach to playing and living with postural tachycardia syndrome known as POTS. Josi was in the first group on the ice to start training camp in September.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
