With less than a month until the NHL trade deadline, the defending Western Conference champions just received a massive boost.
Filip Forsberg, who last played Dec. 29 due to an upper-body injury, rejoined the Nashville Predators' lineup Thursday for their tilt against the Los Angeles Kings.
Even though Nashville managed to go 7-2-2 in Forsberg's absence, the team only averaged 2.27 goals per game over that span. Forsberg's 15 goals are still tied for the team lead despite him missing 11 games. In total, the Swede had 34 points in 37 games prior to his injury.
