Predators' Luca Sbisa: Headed for Music City
Luca Sbisa was claimed off waivers by the Nashville 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.

Jets' Luca Sbisa: Sidelined at least one week
Luca Sbisa is dealing with an upper-body injury that will keep him out of the lineup for a week at minimum, Brian Munz of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.Sbisa was just two games back from a lower-body issue and will now go back onto the injury list. With just 10 points in 44 contests this year, the blueliner doesn't offer much in terms of offensive production even when healthy, Sbisa's absence will allow Sami Niku (undisclosed) to get back into the lineup versus Los Angeles on Tuesday. Considering he will miss at least the next four contests, Sbisa figures to be placed on IR soon.
