Martin Erat's injury "just a strain" expected out 7-10 days

This comes from the Nashville Predators official Twitter account today:

Martin_erat_knee_strain_medium 

... and Predators fans everywhere breathe a big sigh of relief! The knee-on-knee hit he took Tuesday night could have been a lot worse. Considering that we haven't heard anything yet from the NHL, it doesn't appear likely that Barret Jackman or Keith Tkachuk will face discipline for their cheap shots against Erat and Kevin Klein in that game.
