Preds' Jarnkrok out for season with upper-body injury

Nashville Predators forward Calle Jarnkrok will miss the remainder of the regular season with an upper-body injury, the team announced Thursday.

The ailment was suffered in Tuesday's win over the Winnipeg Jets. While the specifics of the injury are unknown, head coach Peter Laviolette didn't rule out the possibility of Jarnkrok returning should the West-leading Predators make a playoff run.

Laviolette says he's not comfortable - at this point - on saying if Calle Jarnkrok can return for the #Preds in the playoffs. #NSHvsARI
