Arvidsson, Forsberg and Subban Dazzling in Returns
January 11th, 2019 The Nashville Predators have been on a roll of late with five wins in their last seven games with their only losses occurring in overtime.

Who Should Maple Leafs Fans Cheer for Now?
April 30th, 2018 The Toronto Maple Leafs' season is over and it ended in disappointing fashion, but keep in mind that it's only been two years since the club drafted Auston Matthews, and the Leafs are still on their way up. The Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup four years after drafting Sidney Crosby, the Chicago Blackhawks four years after...
Forsberg Dominated the Avalanche... or Did He?
April 14th, 2018 The better team won on Thursday night. It took the Nashville Predators two periods to get started but once they did, it wasn't even close. The Colorado Avalanche won the high danger and scoring chance battle but the Predators controlled possession for much of the game. Star players had a huge impact on both sides, although it's debatable...
Predators Destroy Blue Jackets B-Team
April 8th, 2018 Yes, the title is a little bit snarky but it's true. The Columbus Blue Jackets were sitting Cam Atkinson, Norris Candidate Seth Jones, Zach Werenski, Ryan Murray, Nick Foligno, Alexander Wennberg and Artemi Panarin. That's basically their full top line, and this game went accordingly. The Nashville Predators, in turn, sat Viktor...
Are the Predators Unbeatable?
March 5th, 2018 Heading into the third period on Sunday in Colorado, the Nashville Predators were in a rare position: they were in the lead. It's been a repetitive storyline. The Preds start slow, go down a couple goals in the first period, and chase the rest of the game. Objectively speaking, it's a problem. Generally speaking, you'd like to be...
Eeli Tolvanen: Nashville's Next Superstar
February 20th, 2018 When the Nashville Predators stepped to the United Centre's stage to announce their first-round choice in the 2017 NHL Draft, the organization must have been overwhelmed by the possibilities before them. Despite holding the 30th selection overall, the Predators were fortunate to find themselves within an incredibly deep draft class,...
Who's Driving Predators Lethal Top Six?
February 15th, 2018 Last season, the Predators combination of Filip Forsberg, Ryan Johansen and Viktor Arvidsson helped bring national attention to Nashville. Certainly, the team's defensive personnel is among the best in the league. However, before the acquisition and subsequent emergence of a true number-one center, the team remained predictably...
Nashville Predators: Why Is Viktor Arvidsson Underperforming?
February 12th, 2018 Last season, Viktor Arvidsson was the hipster pick for breakout player of the year, and he didn't disappoint. The Swedish winger put up a cool 31 goals and 61 points in 80 games. So far this season, the numbers have been down for the entire Nashville Predators squad. Arvidsson is no exception, as he likely won't eclipse the 60 point...
Predators on the Prowl With Fast Starts
November 9th, 2017 The saying "the early bird gets the worm" suggests that the first to wake up or arrive will find the most success. It seems logical that the ability to put the puck in the net first swings momentum that can ultimately set the tone for the rest of the game. The case is no different for the Nashville Predators who find the most success...
Predators Eeli Tolvanen Is on Fire
October 4th, 2017 The Nashville Predators probably weren't expecting to make a steal with their late first-round pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. However, a Finnish winger that was projected to be selected earlier was still on the board and the Predators pounced on Eeli Tolvanen from the Sioux City Musketeers with the 30th pick. The 18-year-old...
Predators Salomaki Came to Play
September 27th, 2017 With the start of the 2017-18 season just around the corner, the Nashville Predators are in the process of determining which players make their roster. The return of veterans like Scott Hartnell will no doubt provide some stability on a team that has lost some notable names during the offseason. On the other hand, unproven young players...
