2019-20 Predators Player Report Cards: Colin Blackwell

This season was a much different story. Colin Blackwell was called up several times over the course of the season, and played in 27 games for the Predators, scoring three goals and seven assists. Blackwell only averaged around eleven minutes per game, but his smart play and ability with the puck allowed both former head coach Peter Laviolette and current head coach John Hynes to trust Blackwell in difficult situations.
