A left arm injury will keep the Predators’ Scott Nichol out for the remaining of the series against the Detroit Red Wings, as per Barry Trotz at the post game press conference at the Joe Louis Arena. The loss of Nichol could prove to be hurtful for the Preds, as Nichol is a good penalty killer and loves to hit anything that moves.

However, with Nichol’s loss comes the gain of David Legwand for the Pred. Legwand at first was doubtful for the opening two games of the series, though Legwand has shown to coaches he’s ready to play.
