Joakim Kemell Recalled to Nashville Predators Amidst Team Injuries

The Nashville Predators have recalled forward Joakim Kemell from the Milwaukee Admirals on Monday, ahead of their game against the New York Rangers and upcoming NHL Global Series games in Sweden. This recall follows injuries to Zachary L'Heureux (lower-body, 4-6 weeks out) and Cole Smith (upper-body, at least 5 more weeks out). Kemell, who made the opening night roster after an impressive preseason, has played two NHL games this season (Oct. 9 vs. Blue Jackets, Oct. 13 vs. Senators) but has yet to record a point. In Milwaukee, he has six points (one goal, five assists) and four penalty minutes in six games. Hailing from Finland, Kemell will be playing relatively close to home during the Global Series against the Penguins in Stockholm.
