from Robby Stanley at NHL.com,

Filip Forsberg will be out 4-6 weeks for the Nashville Predators with an upper-body injury.

The forward may have been injured Thursday in a 3-0 loss to the Arizona Coyotes. He was put on injured reserve before a 5-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday.

Nashville was already without injured forwards Viktor Arvidsson and Kyle Turris, and defenseman P.K. Subban.

"It's part of the game," Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. "Obviously it's big right now. It's different when you lose one and it was just [Arvidsson]. It was 'All right, well we'll juggle it up a little bit.' But I still think there was a real belief that we were going to be successful tonight."

P.K. Subban and Viktor Arvidsson are also on the IR for the Preds.
