NHL. And 20 goals for Roman Josi this season!.

Roman Josi resumed his march forward Saturday in the NHL, after four consecutive games without a single point. The Predators captain scored in Nashville’s 4-3 win over Chicago, which was without Philipp Kurashev.

The Bernese defender made it 2-2 in the 26th minute, skillfully deflecting a cross shot from Ryan Johansen. Nashville then took off thanks to successes from Matt Duchene (40th, 3-2) and Mikael Granlund (44th, 4-2), but trembled until the end after the Blackhawks reduced the mark in the 55th .

Roman Josi now has 88 points on his 2021/22 counter including 20 goals, a bar he has reached for the first time in his NHL career. With seven matches to play for the Preds, it will be difficult for them to reach 100 points. But the important thing for him is to take Nashville, which currently holds the first « wild card » in the West, in the play-off.
