Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesThe Nashville Predators announced Thursday that they placed defenseman P.K. Subban on injured reserve and activated fellow blueliner Dan Hamhuis from IR in a corresponding move.According to Paul Skrbina of The Tennessean Carolina Hurricanes T-Shirts Authentic , Subban suffered an upper-body injury during Tuesday's loss to the San Jose Sharks.The Preds acquired Subban from the Montreal Canadiens in 2016 in an offseason trade that sent defenseman Shea Weber north of the border. AndSubban's arrival has paid major dividends for Nashville.This season, Subban is producing to the tune of two goals and 10 assists for 12 points in 18 games along with a plus-8 rating.After struggling to find his form during his first campaign with the Predators in 2016-17, Subban was at the top of his game last season, registering 16 goals and 43 assists for 59 points, which was the second-highest point total of his career.He also appeared in all 82 regular-season games and chipped in nine points in 13 playoff games.Subban missed 16 games because of injury in 2016-17, but he finished with 10 goals and 30 assists for 40 points before contributing 12 points in 22 playoff games before Nashville fell to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup Final.Although Subban sat out 14 contests in 2015-16 and 16 the next season, he isn't used to extended absences, appearing in all 82 games in 2013-14 Carolina Hurricanes Hoodies Authentic , 2014-15 and 2017-18 after playing 81 games in 2011-12.The two-time NHL First-Team All-Star is regarded as one of the most dynamic offensive blueliners in the league, and his presence is huge for a Nashville team that isn't exactly stacked with talent up front.The former Norris Trophy winner is a game-changer thanks to his two-way style of play, and replacing what he brings to the table is virtually impossible.If Subban does miss additional time, thenstud rearguard Roman Josi figures to be leaned on even more heavily, while Mattias Ekholm and Ryan Ellis could be asked to take on greater offensive roles as well.The Predsboast solid defensive depth, but it will be tested in a big way without Subban, and additional injuries could be devastating. WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Joel Eriksson Ek didn’t need a review or a challenge to know he scored the game-winning goal for Minnesota against Winnipeg.Eriksson Ek’s goal with 61 seconds left withstood both and the Wild rallied to beat the Jets 3-2 on Tuesday night.Jason Zucker and Eriksson Ek scored 26 seconds apart in the last two minutes of the third period as the Wild notched their fourth straight win.Zucker beat a screened Connor Hellebuyck at 18:33 Carolina Hurricanes Hats Authentic , and Eriksson Ek had his goal withstand a review and a goaltender interference challenge by Winnipeg at 18:59.“Yeah, it crossed the line and I knew it was in,” Eriksson Ek said of the loose puck. “It was nice it was not disallowed this time.”Brad Hunt had the other goal for Minnesota, and Devan Dubnyk made 30 saves for the Wild, who won all four games against Winnipeg this season.“They beat us four out of five last year when it counted so maybe it’s just how things work, but we’ve gotten lucky against them,” Wild head coach Bruce Boudreau said.Patrik Laine had a goal and an assist and Mark Scheifele also scored for the Jets, who are 1-4-1 in their last six games.Hellebuyck stopped 37 shots for Winnipeg.“It’s obviously not a good finish Custom Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys ,” Laine said. “That can’t happen.
