Predators' Winning Streak Launching Them Up the Standings

The Nashville Predators have now won six games in a row. While it looked like they were going to be competing for a wild card spot at the beginning of the month, they're now chasing down the Minnesota Wild for the top spot in the Central Division.

There were many questions when Chris MacFarland took over the hot seat in Nashville. Would he double down on the aging core? Should he look to bring in younger assets to avoid a long rebuild in the near future? He opted to do a little bit of both, and so far, it's paying off.

He's brought in a couple of young players like Nils Hoglander, Shane Wright, Jack Drury, and Mavrik Bourque to complement their core of veterans.
