Nashville Predators Assign Joakim Kemell to Milwaukee Admirals
The Nashville Predators announced on Thursday that Joakim Kemell will join the Milwaukee Admirals in the AHL. This decision came after Kemell was not included in the lineup during the Predators’ recent 7-4 defeat against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Performance Overview
Kemell had previously played in two games this season. His game appearances included:
- Columbus Blue Jackets: 12:22 minutes of ice time, 14 shifts
- Ottawa Senators: 9:46 minutes of ice time, 14 shifts
Last season, Kemell played 65 games with the Admirals, achieving notable success with 40 points. He notably stood out in a game against the Carolina Hurricanes, where he delivered a significant hit, earned a penalty, and scored the game-winning goal in overtime.
Team Updates
Kemell is the second player assigned to the Admirals early in the season. Matthew Wood was sent to Milwaukee on October 10 after previously sustaining a lower-body injury during the preseason.
The Predators are gearing up for their next game against the Montreal Canadiens. The matchup is set for Thursday at 6 p.m. CST at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
