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 Jimmy Vesey Jersey , 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 Kevin Hayes Jersey , 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 Kevin Shattenkirk Jersey , 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 http://www.officialhockeyrangersshop.com/authentic-adidas-marc-staal-jersey , 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. Harry How/Getty ImagesThe Anaheim Ducks will be without defenseman Cam Fowler for the immediate future after he suffered a serious facial injury during Monday's shootout win over the Nashville Predators.Anaheim announced he suffered a "complex right facial fracture involving the orbital bone, cheekbone and upper jaw bone" after he was hit in the face by a puck during the game. The team will know how long he will be out after he undergoes surgery Friday.Fowler has been a member of the Ducks since they drafted him in the first round in 2010.He has 10 points (seven assists and three goals) through 19 games this season and sports a plus-minus of plus-three. He posted a positive plus-minus in each of the past two seasons and finished the 2017-18 campaign with 32 points on 24 assists and eight goals.The defenseman was an All-Star in 2016-17 Authentic Mats Zuccarello Jersey , when he posted 39 points鈥攈is highest mark since he was a rookie.Anaheim has postseason expectations in the Western Conference after reaching the playoffs in each of the past six campaigns and will need other defensemen to carry more of the load while Fowler is sidelined.Look for the combination of Hampus Lindholm, Jacob Larsson and Josh Manson to be given additional responsibility while the Ducks battle for points as the season approaches the quarter mark.
