Predators activate Subban, Arvidsson off IR

The Nashville Predators are getting two of their star players back.

Defenseman P.K. Subban and top-line winger Viktor Arvidsson were both activated off injured reserve, the club announced Thursday.

Subban's missed the last 19 games with an upper-body ailment, while Arvidsson's been out for 21 contests with a broken thumb.

However, the Predators have managed to stay competitive without Subban, Arvidsson, and Filip Forsberg in the lineup. They sit four points behind the Winnipeg Jets for first place in the Central Division, albeit with one extra game played.

In a corresponding move, Nashville placed Yannick Weber on IR.
