Subban to miss start of Predators camp

P.K. Subban will not be on the ice when the Nashville Predators begin the on-ice portion of training camp Saturday morning.

The dynamic defenseman is dealing with an upper-body injury, and will be re-evaluated when the team returns from its preseason opener in Florida on Tuesday night.

"I've just been a little bit sore lately, so we're just going to take our time and make sure," Subban said Friday, according to Adam Vingan of the Tennessean.

"I came in a couple days to skate early. Just a little bit sore, so we're going to see how I feel."

Subban, who came to the Predators in a stunning one-for-one swap involving former captain Shea Weber, missed the final 14 games last year with the Montreal Canadiens while nursing a neck injury.

Nashville will be in Columbus on Thursday for its second preseason game.
