The 33-year-old defenseman's ninth goal of the season was special: he now holds the franchise record for the most goals by a defenseman.

Roman Josi has now scored 167 goals in his career, which is one more than Shea Weber, former captain of the Nashville Predators. He also is now the player with the third-most goals in Predators' history, only Filip Forsberg and David Legwand have more.

“Shea has been such a huge inspiration for me as a player,” Josi said after the game. “He was my first captain. I was able to play with him in my second year and played with him for a couple of years and just learning from him and seeing him at the rink and off the ice, personally [the record] is pretty cool."
