Nicolas Hague was the initial plan for the Nashville Predators to play alongside Roman Josi on the top pairing, but now the team will have to turn to a Plan B to open the regular season.
Hague has been reported to have an upper body injury received in Sunday's preseason matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning, forcing the veteran defenseman to miss possibly up to four to six weeks. The regular season opens two weeks from today against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
