SALT LAKE CITY -- Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi was a late scratch before Thursday night's 4-1 loss at Utah because of an upper-body injury.
Josi participated in warmups but was unable to go. The Predators' captain has one goal and five assists in his last four games.
The team said that Josi's status is day-to-day. He is fourth on the team in scoring with 54 points (13 goals, 41 assists).
Jordan Oesterle took Josi's place in the lineup.
