Predators' Jeremy Lauzon: Could return soon

Lauzon (leg) will not play Thursday in Colorado, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

However, Lauzon could be an option to play Friday in Arizona or return soon thereafter for the playoffs, which start next week. The 25-year-old will miss his sixth consecutive game Thursday, but his absence shouldn't make too many fantasy waves considering he's managed just seven points in 66 games this season.
