We finally know when the Hurricanes-Predators series will start, so let’s keep breaking down the matchup by looking at the Canes’ blueliners against Nashville’s forwards.
The Nashville Predators forwards have been a tale of two seasons. Their season long averages have not been great. Their possession and scoring numbers ranked bottom 10 in the league. However, as of late their possession numbers have been covered up by their 10% shooting percentage.
This 10% shooting percentage in their last 20 games translates to 2.77 goals for per game, which ranks eighth in the league in that span.
