Upshall update
Milwaukee bound: Predators forward Scottie Upshall, who hasn't played since partially tearing a groin muscle Nov. 15, is scheduled to head to Milwaukee of the American Hockey League on Monday.
Trotz said Upshall will spend two weeks with the Predators' top affiliate on a conditioning assignment. He will count toward the Predators' roster even while at Milwaukee, which means — assuming no one else gets hurt in the meantime — Nashville will have maximized its roster at 23 players.
