STAMFORD, Conn. – January 22, 2019 – NBC Sports Group will debut THE P.K. PROJECT, a multi-episode NBC Sports Digital series chronicling the life of Nashville Predators defenseman and three-time NHL All-Star P.K. Subban, tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 23, on NBCSports.com, the NBC Sports app and NBC Sports YouTube channel.

From a guided tour of Subban’s hometown of Nashville, Tenn., to jamming with country music star Lee Brice, THE P.K. PROJECT takes viewers behind the scenes and inside the non-stop life of one of the NHL’s most popular and fashion-forward athletes.

In the premiere episode of the exclusive digital-only series, the Music City superstar, serial entrepreneur and philanthropist journeys to Toronto as the Predators visit the Maple Leafs. Subban spends time with his parents and sisters, gets some home cooking at his parents’ house, and then the entire family gathers at the game.

“I love going home,” said Subban. “Home is home, but I’m not going to lie. Going home comes at a cost… It’s absolute mayhem.”

In the coming episodes, THE P.K. PROJECT examines some of Nashville’s culinary hotspots and signature dishes, like biscuits, banana pudding, and Nashville hot chicken, features a music session with Brice, a two-time Grammy Song of the Year nominee, goes all-access with Subban as the Predators take on the reigning Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals, and more.
