Jarnkrok (illness) won't suit up in Wednesday's Game 2 against the Hurricanes, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports. The illness was specified as non-COVID-19 related, but it's serious enough to force the Swede to miss playoff action.

Jarnkrok was held off the scoresheet for the sixth straight game in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes. Jarnkrok had a terrific month of March, notching seven goals and 12 points in 16 games, but he's cooled off considerably since then, with just a pair of assists in his past nine contests.
