Predators expect captain Roman Josi back for camp despite health diagnosis | Sports

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville captain Roman Josi is expected at training camp in September after the Predators said Wednesday the defenseman was diagnosed with postural tachycardia syndrome or POTS late last season.

“He has been undergoing treatment since that diagnosis and is progressing exceptionally well,” general manager Barry Trotz said in a statement. “We concur with Roman that with continued management and treatment, he can return to the ice for the 2025-26 season and continue with his elite hockey career.”
