Predators' Joakim Kemell: Pots goal vs. Tampa Bay
Rotowire
Kemell scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Lightning.
Kemell scored the first goal of his NHL career with a deflection at the 8:31 mark of the second period. However, he hasn't taken a single shot in four of his eight appearances this season, and as a fourth-line rookie, he's not expected to have much upside in the final weeks of the regular season. Kemell is averaging just 0.75 shots per game in his eight outings in 2025-26.

Kemell was called up from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday, Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey reports.
Kemell is the latest player to get a call-up from Milwaukee as the Predators continue to sell leading up to the trade deadline. The 21-year-old will likely be in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Bruins if he is able to get to the arena on time. The trade of Michael Bunting to Dallas created the need for Kemell's call-up.

Predators' Joakim Kemell: Shipped to AHL
Rotowire
Kemell was loaned to AHL Milwaukee on Sunday.
Kemell didn't record a point in two appearances with the Predators while posting eight shots on goal and four hits in his first taste of NHL action. He has nine goals and 25 points in 38 minor-league outings this season. Whether or not the 20-year-old forward returns to the Predators after the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off will probably depend on the health of injured forwards Luke Evangelista (lower body), Mark Jankowski (upper body) and Zachary L'Heureux (upper body).
