Nashville Predators defenceman P.K. Subban was not on the ice to begin the team's practice Wednesday.

Subban was down on the ice in pain for a couple of moments after blocking an Evgeni Malkin shot in the third period of the Predators' 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. He eventually got up and skated gingerly to the bench and said after the game he was not concerned he would miss any time.

Subban has been great for the Predators during their postseason run, with two goals and 12 points in 20 games.

On the Pittsburgh side of things, both winger Patric Hornqvist and centre Nick Bonino missed practice on Wednesday.

Head coach Mike Sullivan says Hornqvist was out due to a maintenance day while Bonino continues to be day-to-day with a foot injury.

The 30-year-old Hornqvist has four goals and three assists over 17 games this postseason while Bonino, 29, has tallied four goals and three helpers over 21 games. He hasn't played since Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final after taking a slap shot from Subban. 

The Predators and Penguins are tied 2-2 in the Stanley Cup Final.
