According to Elliotte Friedman, Predators defenseman P.K. Subban is expected to meet with doctors tomorrow to discuss a course of treatment for “what is believed to be a herniated disc.” In a follow-up tweet, Friedman states the two options the talented blue liner and the Predators have are resting the back and hoping for improvement or surgery, which would sideline Subban for “quite a while.”
Subban has already missed seven games with what had been termed an upper-body injury and while the team has considered the defender day-to-day, this latest bit of news obviously throws serious doubt on that belief.
Acquired in the summer blockbuster trade which sent Shea Weber to Montreal, Subban has tallied seven goals and 17 points in 29 games in his first campaign with Nashville.
More to come as new information comes to light.
