The Nashville Predators will be in uncharted territory for at least the next week as the club has placed forward Filip Forsberg on injured reserve, the team announced on Saturday.
Forsberg left Friday's game against the Minnesota Wild mid-way through the third period with an undisclosed injury. In his absence, the team has recalled forward Frederick Gaudreau from the AHL.
The designation means Forsberg will miss at least the next three games, which will serve as the first games he has missed for the Predators since April 13, 2014, according to The Tennessean's Adam Vingan.
Forsberg currently paces the team with 15 goals and 34 points in 37 games.
