Nick Cousins and Filip Forsberg have been placed on IR with both Mathieu Olivier and Michael McCarron have been recalled to the active roster.
The time table for Cousins and Forsberg is unknown, so we will have to see how this plays out. The Preds are in the midst of their brutal November with the team heading out to Dallas today for a back-to-back in Dallas and then St. Louis before returning home on Saturday to face Arizona to only turn back around and go on the road again for three games in eastern Canada against the Leafs, Senators, and Canadiens.
Losing Cousins and Forsberg is a tough pill to swallow, but the players that are needing to step up have been. Duchene has reached another level and I hope this place continues.
So far on this roadtrip, the Preds have gone 2-1-1 gaining 5 out of a possible 8 points. Dropping the additional point in Chicago was rough but these next two divisional games in Dallas and St. Louis will be a true test to see where this team stands within the division rankings.
