The Nashville Predators held forward Gustav Nyquist out of their game against the host New York Islanders on Saturday afternoon due to 'trade-related reasons.'
The Minnesota Wild and Los Angeles Kings reportedly are potential landing spots for Nyquist, who is playing in the final season of a two-year, $6.37 million contract.
Also Saturday, the Predators placed captain Roman Josi on injured reserve. The 2019-20 Norris Trophy recipient is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury.
Nyquist, 35, has totaled 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists) in 57 games this season.
Josi, 34, was injured after absorbing a hit from Sam Bennett of the Florida Panthers in a 4-1 loss on Tuesday. The defenseman sat out Nashville's 2-1 victory against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday.
'Obviously with those things, it's day to day, could be week to week, it could be season-ending,' Predators coach Andrew Brunette said. 'We don't really know yet.'
Josi has 38 points (nine goals, 29 assists) in 53 games while averaging 25:02 of ice time.
The Predators also recalled forward Jake Lucchini and defenseman Spencer Stastney from Milwaukee of the American Hockey League.
