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 Winnipeg Jets 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 Winnipeg Jets Hoodies Authentic , appearing in all 82 games in 2013-14, 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 Winnipeg Jets Hats Authentic , and additional injuries could be devastating. NEW YORK — One thing is almost certain heading into Sunday’s game between the New York Rangers and Vegas Golden Knights: Whomever loses probably can’t do so in any weirder or agonizing fashion than they did Friday night.A pair of teams looking to bounce back from their roles in a historic NHL evening will square off Sunday afternoon, when the Rangers host the Golden Knights at Madison Square Garden.Both teams were off Saturday after blowing three-goal leads in a pair of shocking overtime losses Friday night, when the Golden Knights fell to the host New Jersey Devils 5-4 and the Rangers were beaten by the visiting Arizona Coyotes 4-3.Article continues below ...Remarkably, the Golden Knights and Rangers weren’t the only teams to squander a three-goal lead in a loss Friday night. The Carolina Hurricanes also did so in a 6-5 shootout loss to the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals.According to the NHL, it was only the second time in history at least three teams came back from deficits of three goals or more. Four teams did it Nov. 25, 1987.Not that the Golden Knights, Rangers and Hurricanes are looking to parse their Friday night “feat Custom Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ,” but Vegas’ blown lead against the Devils — who entered Friday mired in a 1-4-4 rut — was the most resounding of all.The Golden Knights (18-14-2) chased Devils goalie Cory Schneider by racing out to a 3-0 lead in the first 9:23 of the first period. But New Jersey pulled to within 4-2 by the end of the second and scored twice in the third before earning its first overtime win of the season.“We played a real good first 10 minutes of the hockey game and that was it,” Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant told reporters afterward. “New Jersey took over after that.”The Rangers (14-13-4) had a little longer period of prosperity Friday, when they opened a 3-0 lead over the Coyotes 5:48 into the second period and carried a 3-1 lead into the third. But the result was the same — a seemingly easy win slipping through their hands against a skidding opponent. Arizona snapped a four-game losing streak with the comeback victory.“Maybe because we’re going through this tough time, we’re not confident enough,” Rangers coach David Quinn told reporters after his team fell for the seventh time in nine games (2-5-2). “But we’ve got to get out of it in a hurry. We can’t have a three-goal lead and a 3-1 lead going into the third period and do what we did.”Neither team has announced a starting goalie for Sunday — the Rangers practiced while the Golden Knights had the day off — but it seems likely at least one backup will be in net.Marc-Andre Fleury made his 12th straight start for the Golden Knights Friday, when he took the loss after making 37 saves. He is almost sure to sit in favor of backup Malcom Subban on Sunday or Monday, when Vegas caps an Eastern Conference road trip by visiting the Columbus Blue Jackets.Subban hasn’t played since Nov. 19 www.officialknightsproshop.com , when he was saddled with the defeat after making 25 saves in a 7-2 loss to the Calgary Flames.Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist started for the fourth time in as many games Friday, when he took the loss after recording 30 saves. Backup Alexandar Georgiev made his most recent start Dec. 1, when he received the defeat after he made 36 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.Fleury is 31-18-9 in 59 career games against the Rangers, whom he’s faced more than any opponent. Subban has never opposed New York.Lundqvist earned the win in his only appearance against the Golden Knights on Oct. 31, 2017, when he made 30 saves in the Rangers’ 6-4 victory. Georgiev has never faced Vegas.
