The Nashville Predators will be without leading scorer Patric Hornqvist for the foreseeable future.

Hornqvist, who led the Predators with 27 goals last season, injured his leg in the third period of Saturday’s 3-2 loss against Anaheim after going awkwardly into the boards with Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf.

Trotz said Hornqvist out indefinitely. Didn’t know if he would be further examined out here or back in Nashville.
