It has been an amazing run. The franchise-best 10 games win streak propelled the Nashville Predators not only to the top of the Central Division but to first in the Western Conference. Their lead, however, is only six points. The current streak will not last forever. Sad, but true.
Even with the streak, the Predators have not gained separation from the rest of the league. Vegas’s recent stumbles have them looking up in the standings, but a 4-0 beating of the Detriot Red Wings may spawn new life. Winnipeg has won four straight while Minnesota’s streak sits at three.
