Nashville Predators Reassign Forward Joakim Kemell to Milwaukee Admirals

Nashville Predators forward Joakim Kemell was reassigned to the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) on Monday, November 17, 2025. Kemell had been recalled on November 10 following Zachary L'Heuruex's lower-body injury but did not play in any games during his recent NHL stint, which included a road game against the New York Rangers and two NHL Global Series games in Sweden. This season, he has only played two games with Nashville (Oct. 9 vs. Columbus and Oct. 13 vs. Ottawa) and has recorded a goal and five assists in six games with Milwaukee. His reassignment could signal the imminent return of forward Cole Smith, who suffered an upper-body injury on November 1.
