Nashville Predators forwards will not play Game 3 of their Western Conference Semifinals series against the Phoenix Coyotes on Wednesday as a result of violating team rules.
"The Nashville Predators have a few simple rules centered around doing the right things," Predators president and general manager David Poile said in a statement. "We have always operated with a team-first mentality and philosophy. Violating team rules is not fair to our team and their teammates."
The Predators trail the Coyotes 2-0 in the series. tsn.ca
