  Sbisa (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday. Sbisa made his season debut Sunday against Dallas, recording three hits and two blocked shots in just under 12 minutes of ice time. The 30-year-old blueliner will miss at least the next three contests with an upper-body injury. He'll be eligible to return Feb. 1 against the Lightning, but it's unclear what his current timetable looks like.

• Predators' Luca Sbisa: Added to active roster

  The Predators have added Sbisa (COVID-19) to their active roster. Sbisa was unavailable for Nashville's season opener Thursday due to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, but he'll be an option for Saturday's rematch with the Blue Jackets, although it wouldn't be surprising to see him serve as a healthy scratch. The 30-year-old blueliner, who the Predators claimed off waivers Tuesday, picked up 10 points in 44 games with the Jets last campaign.

• Predators' Luca Sbisa: Headed for Music City

  Sbisa was claimed off waivers by the Predators from the Jets on Monday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports. Sbisa will be playing for his fifth franchise in as many seasons with his move to Nashville. Considering he will have to cross the border, there is no guarantee the 30-year-old blueliner will be available for Opening Night against the Flames on Thursday. Even if he does arrive in time, Sbisa may be hard-pressed to force his way into the lineup over Mark Borowiecki or Matt Benning but should serve as a capable emergency option in the case of injury.
