Predators announce list of players injured during playoffs

The Nashville Predators had legit Stanley Cup aspirations until their dream season was unceremoniously cut short by a deep and talented Winnipeg Jets squad last week.

On Monday, general manager David Poile spoke to the media to address his team's finish, offseason approach, and health, announcing a handful of players who got hurt during its postseason run:

• Mike Fisher (F) - Was playing through a meniscus injury, would have likely been available for Stanley Cup Final had Nashville qualified.
• Ryan Hartman (F) - Suffered an injured shoulder that will require offseason surgery; recovery time is expected to be four to five months.
• Calle Jarnkrok (F) - Dealt with an injured shoulder that kept him out of the lineup for some playoff games; will make full recovery prior to training camp.

Despite finishing with a league-best 117 points and the franchise's first Presidents' Trophy, the season will ultimately be deemed a failure for Poile and Co., as the Predators entered the campaign as one of the favorites to be named Cup champs.
