Subban scored a goal and dished out an assist in Monday's win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Subban sent out a secondary assist on Colton Sisson's goal in the second period, and he lit the lamp himself just 1:24 later to put the Predators in the lead. The Oilers battled back with a third-period score, but the Predators marked a win in the shootout. He also fired four shots on net to help end his four-game point drought.

Subban (undisclosed) will play in Monday's game versus the Oilers, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was absent from the morning skate, but it appears that was simply for maintenance reasons. Subban will remain on the second pairing with Mattias Ekholm and look to break out of a four-game pointless run. The Predators could use some offense from their blue line since they sold off Kevin Fiala -- the return, Mikael Granlund, won't be available for this matchup -- while Craig Smith (undisclosed) is still injured.

Subban (undisclosed) missed morning skate Monday, which calls into question his availability for the evening's home game against the Oilers, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Subban's omission from the a.m. skate invokes curiosity, as he was able to skate for 24:45 in Saturday's game against the Avalanche. We view him as a game-time decision for the clash against the Oilers. There's been nothing to suggest that he's going to be moved ahead of Monday's trade deadline.

Subban scored just his fifth goal of 2018-19 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

The Preds' offensive-minded defenseman had gone 14 games without a goal before finally finding the back of the net in Tuesday's otherwise disappointing result. Part of Subban's offensive struggles through 40 games can be explained by his inability to score goals, as the dynamic blueliner currently sports a cringe-worthy shooting percentage (4.9).

Subban snapped an eight-game pointless stretch with a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Subban was having a very Subban-like season prior to sustaining an upper-body injury Nov. 13 that landed him on the IR for 19 games -- he had 12 points in his first 17 games of the season, but now has just seven points in 20 games since his return. He's still seeing a ton of ice time (23:08 over his last six games, including 4:01 on the power play), so he's still seeing plenty of opportunities to contribute offensively. Stick with him.

Subban has just six points in 16 games since returning from an upper-body injury in late December.

EDGE Analysis

What's worse, Subban's ice time seems to be on the decine, as he saw fewer than 18 minutes of action (17:36) for the second straight game Friday against the Panthers. He's still officially on the Preds' second defensive pairing with Mattias Ekholm, but his scoring has almost completely dried up, and his minutes appear to be heading in the same direction. Subban is far too talented to remain in this slump for long, but you may want to bench him until he starts to show signs of life.

Subban recorded an assist and 12 penalty minutes during Tuesday's 6-1 rout over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Subban got into an altercation late in the game and was given a game misconduct, but fortunately for the Predators, the game was well in hand by then. The 29-year-old blueliner is warming up after a long absence due to injury with two goals and six points in his last 11 games. Make sure he's a regular in your lineup down the stretch.

Subban opened the scoring for the Predators in a 4-3 overtime road loss to the Red Wings on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With 2:24 remaining in the first period, Subban set up shop near the top of the circle and wired a wrist shot for his first point since returning from an upper-body injury four games prior. Look for the celebrated defenseman to glean confidence from his latest performance knowing that he'll square off against his former Habs team in Montreal on Saturday.

Subban (upper body) was officially activated from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's home game against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Subban will reprise his role on the power play, which will be bolstered further by the return of Viktor Arvidsson (thumb). Prior to sustaining his injury, Subban collected two goals (one shorthanded) and 10 assists (four on the power play) over 18 games as part of the 2018-19 campaign. Don't hesitate to get the star defenseman back into fantasy lineups since there's been nothing to suggest that he'll be limited.

Subban (upper body) is "looking good" in terms of returning Thursday night against the Stars, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Subban reportedly was on the ice for morning skate and even worked on power-play drills, but his eventual removal from injured reserve will be the clear sign that stud defenseman is officially ready to rock. We'll circle back when he's activated.
