The Predators captain has now had back-to-back three-point efforts for the third time in his career - Pittsburgh's Erik Karlsson (6) is the only active blue-liner with more such occasions. The big performances have been part of a four-game point streak, and February, as a whole, was very productive for Josi, as the 2020 Norris Trophy winner picked up 15 points (five goals, 10 assists) in 10 games. He has reached the 60-point mark for the fourth time in his career, with 15 goals and 45 assists in 61 games.
