A driving force behind the Nashville Predators’ success is the consistent play and success of Ryan Ellis, which is now amplified with the departure of P.K. Subban. With a slightly new look to the defensive core, Ellis will play a major role in the success of the future.
Since receiving regular playing time in 2013-14, Ellis has been the model of consistency that the team depends on.
Statistically, Ellis is in the top 30 when compared to other defenders in the league. The one year that he didn’t hit those numbers was 2017-18 when he came back from his knee surgery where he played in 44 games.
