Show Caption Hide Caption NHL playoff preview: Can anyone stop the Predators? SportsPulse: USA TODAY Sports' Jimmy Hascup and Kevin Allen look at some dark horses that could make some noise this postseason, but ultimately it's hard to bet against Nashville.

Nashville Predators defenseman P.K. Subban was called for holding late in the second period of Monday’s playoff game against the Colorado Avalanche.

Apparently, both refs missed the blindside punch Subban appeared to throw that caught Avs forward Nathan MacKinnon up high. MacKinnon actually got called for holding as well, resulting in offsetting penalties.

NHL spokesperson John Dellapina told USA TODAY Sports that there is no disciplinary hearing scheduled for Subban.

The Avs were up 4-1 at that point of Game 3 of the first-round series. Colorado won, 5-3, as the Preds’ lead in the series was cut to 2-1.

Subban was a minus-1 in the game at the time of the punch.

The NHL has already suspended Toronto Maple Leafs center Nazem Kadri (three games) and Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty (one game) for illegal hits in the first round. Other hits have been reviewed for potential supplemental discipline.
