About The Nashville Predators
If you want to talk about even offensive distribution, Nashville has nine players with between 23 and 33 points at the top of the scoring page. Leading the Preds in the points and goals categories is rightwing Patric Hornquist with 33 points and 21 goals. Next comes right-winger J.P. Dumont (32 points) who leads the team with 23 assists, leftwing Steve Sullivan (31 points, 17 goals), defenseman Shea Weber (30 points, 21 assists), centers David Legwand (29 points, 19 assists) and Jason Arnot (28 points, 16 assists), then rightwing Joel Ward (23 points, 15 assists) and defenseman Ryan Suter (23 points, 21 assists). Scoring is rarely more evenly distributed than on this offense.
Much of Nashville’s success has also been due to solid defense and consistent goaltending, with number one keeper Pekka Rinne (34 games) sharing the chores with backup Dan Ellis (24games). Often-time the two have alternated starts, and while Ellis may only be starting roughly half the games of a true starting goalie, he could start on some other teams, and has been a more than adequate number two for the Predators.
While this team may not be able to close the gap between themselves and Chicago in the Central, they do have a solid enough squad to strike fear into any potential playoff opponent that they may come up against in March. Nashville Predator fans need to get their tickets now and support their team as they make a serious run to the playoffs, and maybe even giving the entire Western Conference a run for their money once there.
