Despite two assists from captain Roman Josi, Nashville conceded a second straight loss on Wednesday in the NHL. The Predators, who led 2-0 once morest Seattle, were overthrown in three minutes by the Kraken during the 2nd period to finally lose 4-3.
The Bernese defender gave two assists precisely on the first two goals of the evening, signed Philip Tomasino and Matt Duchene. Lined up for 26 minutes on the ice, Roman Josi now has 55 points in 52 games this season – 14 goals and 41 assists.

With his two new offerings, Roman Josi thus becomes the 14th active defender to reach the 500 point mark – in 732 games. Of these, only Erik Karlsson (San José Sharks) achieved such a performance in fewer games (613) than him.
With Roman Josi reaching the 500-point mark (131-369—500 in 732 GP), the 2008 #NHLDraft has now produced five defensemen who have reached the milestone, surpassing the 1984 #NHLDraft (4) for the most of any class in League history.#NHLStats: https://t.co/X2OjdEb2d5 pic.twitter.com/aaB1lhWLC9
