The Predators are on a heater as they reach the Christmas break. A time to take a deep breathe and get ready for the long, grueling grind that awaits.
Sure, it's not an 18-game point streak, but the Nashville Predators have found a major spark to their season and sit at a surprising record of 16-16-4 for 36 points and just three points back of the wildcard.
At their lowest point of the season, just a month ago on November 24, the Predators were buried at a 6-12-4 record for 16 points and coming off an embarassing 8-3 home loss to the Florida Panthers.
