The Nashville Predators have announced that defenseman Spencer Stastney will be out of the lineup for the club's April 3 contest against the Dallas Stars due to an upper-body injury. In addition, the Predators shared that he is considered day-to-day.
Stastney, 25, has appeared in 22 games this season with the Predators, where he has three assists, 24 blocks, and a minus-7 rating. He also has played in 23 games this campaign with the Milwaukee Admirals, posting two goals, 11 assists, 13 points, and a plus-3 rating.
Stastney was selected by the Predators with the 131st overall pick of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. In 50 career NHL games over three seasons with the Central Division club, the 6-foot defenseman has two goals, seven assists, nine points, and a plus-7 rating.
The Predators will now need to adjust without Stastney in the lineup against a very challenging Stars club from here.
