Nashville’s Toughest Test Yet Will Force Them to Adjust
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY SportsWhile the clinching victory over the Ducks was euphoric when it was over, the game wasn’t a great showing from the Predators. Give them credit for capitalizing on their opportunities but mustering only 18 shots on goal while the opponent fires over 40 isn’t a recipe for success.
It’s hard to be too critical of Nashville considering the depletion in the forward group. They should be in better shape as Mike Fisher and Craig Smith were practicing this week. If they both can go, it’ll put the team in a much better position to dress a capable lineup.
