On the Nashville Predators …
Brooks Bratten of NHL.com: The Nashville Predators have put defenseman P.K. Subban on the IR with an upper-body injury. He will be re-evaluated in two to three weeks.
“It’s tough when you take people out of the lineup,” Laviolette said. “Ryan Ellis was out for a little bit and now P.K. is out, but guys step up and you have to move on. Every team in the League goes through it, and you deal with injuries. I think you’ve just got to keep moving forward, which our team has done.”
Elliotte Friedman: Subban, the Predators and doctors met yesterday to talk about how to treat what is believed to be a herniated disc.
Elliotte Friedman: Options include rest and hope that it improves. The worst-case scenario would be for Subban to have surgery which would keep him out of the lineup for awhile.
