Wiesblatt (upper-body) has been placed on IR and is expected to miss the next 8-10 weeks.

Wiesblatt suffered an upper-body injury in his first shift of Thursday's 2-1 win over the Florida Panthers, exiting the game after only 15 seconds of ice-time. The 23-year-old is averaging 10:38 time-on-ice and has four points (1G / 3A) in 24 games this season and will likely be sidelined until at least mid-January.

Wiesblatt will make his season debut in Toronto on Tuesday.

Wiesblatt will draw into the lineup for the first time this season in favour of Joakim Kemell, who is a healthy scratch. A former first-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Wiesblatt made his NHL debut last season, registering zero goals and one assist in five games for the Predators.

Wiesblatt (undisclosed) will not play in the Predators season opener on Thursday.

Wiesblatt made his NHL debut with Nashville last season, recording one assist in five games, and hopes to be a more regular NHLer in the 2025-26 season. He took warmups with the team on Thursday but will not be on the opening night roster. The 23-year-old forward was San Jose's 31st-overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.
