The Nashville Predators have started the season off in a rough way, but are seemingly on the rise. The possession numbers reflect this quite a bit as last week they were 14th in Corsi and Fenwick. but now they rank 9th in Corsi with 51.73 and 7th in Fenwick with 53.37. Their PDO has finally risen to the average 100, and I think we’re starting to see the real Predators.
What a lot of it comes down to is the inconsistency of Pekka Rinne. He’s on a bit of a hot streak, but most Predators fans can feel a slump incoming.
