Patric Hornqvist is upbeat about the Predators' future after signing a five-year, $21.25 million contract.
Hornqvist would have been a restricted free agent this summer. "I think we have something really good here going," Hornqvist said. "I want to stay here. I like it here. Great place to live and a great place to play. The fans are great; it was a quick deal." Hornqvist, who was limited to 24 games this season, is one of the few offensive weapons the Predators have so locking him up was vital. May 1 - 11:13 AM

Nashville Predators sign Patric Hornqvist to five-year, $21.25 million contract.

Hornqvist had a disappointing, injury-filled 2013 campaign and registered just four goals and 14 points in 24 games. He was scheduled for restricted free agency this summer and it's possible the Shea Weber experience last summer scared Nashville into locking Hornqvist up for the long term before an offer sheet even became an option.

Patric Hornqvist will become a restricted free agent in July if he does not re-sign in the interim with Nashville.

Hornqvist had a disappointing injury-filled season in 2013 as he had only four goals and 14 points in 24 games after scoring 27, 21 and 30 goals in his previous three seasons. Look for Hornqvist to re-sign with the Predators as the 26-year-old will likely be able to score 20-plus goals in 2013-14.

Patric Hornqvist (upper body) won't play in Nashville's last two games.

Hornqvist will finish the season with four goals and 14 points in 24 contests. If he manages to stay healthy, he should go back to recording 40-50 points in 2013-14.
Apr 25 - 11:01 AM

Patric Hornqvist (upper body) and Brandon Yip (lower body) won't play Tuesday night.

Hornqvist has been skating in practice and could return in one of the Predators' two remaining games Thursday or Saturday. Yip's return is a tad uncertain although he could play before the end of the regular season. Neither player has much impact on fantasy circles so their absence at this point shouldn't affect your lineup.
Apr 23 - 2:54 PM

Patric Hornqvist has been sidelined again by an upper-body injury.

Hornqvist is expected to skate on his own on Wednesday and coach Barry Trotz said he expects Hornqvist to return before the end of the regular season. Hornqvist has four goals and 14 points in 24 games this season.
Apr 16 - 1:33 PM

Patric Hornqvist had a goal and an assist in Nashville's 3-1 win Tuesday.

Hornqvist has four goals and 12 points in 19 games this season. Since returning from an upper body injury, Hornqvist has a goal and four points in five contests.
Apr 3 - 10:38 AM

Patric Hornqvist returned to action on Monday from an upper body injury.

Hornqvist had been out of action since March 8 and has now played in only 15 games this season. Coach Barry Trotz was cautious about playing Hornqvist too much in his first game back and as a result he only played 13:20 minutes with a couple of shots on goal. "He's Patric, he's intense, he's battling, he's fearless," Trotz said. "I was happy with him." Look for Hornqvist's minutes to move steadily upwards as he returns to full time duty.
Mar 26 - 10:35 AM

Patric Hornqvist has been activated from injured reserve and is likely to play Monday night.

He has been sidelined since March 8 with an upper-body injury. Hornqvist has been limited to 14 games this season due to injuries. "It's tough mentally to sit out for a long time, and second injury in two months, and usually I'm never hurt," he said. "That's probably the toughest thing that goes through your mind, but I'm ready to go."
Mar 25 - 5:25 PM

Patric Hornqvist (upper body) is questionable for Monday's game against Edmonton.

Scott Hannan is also questionable with an upper body injury. Hornqvist has not played since March 6 and the Predators could use his goal scoring ability as he scored 30 goals three years ago and has followed up with 27 and 21 goal seasons.
Mar 25 - 8:53 AM

Predators winger Patric Hornqvist has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets.

Both he and defenseman Hal Gill will stay home while their teammates travel to Columbus for the game, but both have a chance to play during the homestand that follows Tuesday's contest.
Mar 17 - 9:46 AM

Patric Hornqvist (upper body) will miss at least two games.

Hornqvist was placed on the injured reserve list Monday and was retroactive to March 8. Colin Wilson was placed on IR at the same time but will have to miss three games as he was injured the following game. The Predators will miss both as they are having trouble scoring as is.
Mar 12 - 10:41 AM

Patric Hornqvist (upper body) has been moved to Nashville's injured reserve list.

He sustained an upper-body injury on Mar. 8 against Edmonton and didn't play Saturday as a result.
Mar 11 - 1:58 PM

Patric Hornqvist is slated to miss Nashville's next two games, including Saturday's match versus Minnesota, because of an upper-body injury.

The Predators play Dallas on Tuesday. Hornqvist was injured shortly after scoring what would the game-winning goal early in the first period against Edmonton Friday night.
Mar 9 - 2:37 PM

Predators forward Patric Hornqvist was forced to leave Friday's 6-0 win over Edmonton after suffering an apparent upper body injury.

The Nashville winger did manage to score a power play goal in the first period before exiting the game. He has recorded eight points and a whopping 54 shots on goal in just 14 contests this season, making him an integral part of the team's offensive game plan. Let's hope this injury isn't a serious one.
