Mike Fisher on IR with lower-body injury

Predators centre Mike Fisher leaves Tuesday night’s game after taking a hit from Coyotes centre Martin Hanzal.

The Nashville Predators have placed centre Mike Fisher on the injured reserve list with a lower-body injury.

Fisher left Tuesday night’s game against the Arizona Coyotes after taking a hit from Martin Hanzal.

The hit knocked Fisher to his knees, and the 35-year-old left the ice favouring his right leg.

He will miss the next four games and will then be re-evaluated.

Nashville’s next game is Thursday night against the Florida Panthers.
