They have a decent penalty kill, but that’s about all they have going for them systemically. They’ve had their struggles, but it’s worth remembering that they are also coming off a 4-0 win over the Seattle Kraken, so they can cause teams problems as well.Ī lot of the problems they cause are for themselves, though. Their first two games against Nashville, at the Global Series, pretty much set the tone for the rest of their year.

The team announced this morning that Ryan Johansen would miss three months after surgery, so Milwaukee Admirals forward Kiefer Sherwood will get another chance with the NHL club.

You can only get the pick at SportsLine.The Nashville Predators’ spring continues to be a bumpy one. It also says one side of the money line has all the value. SportsLine's model is leaning over on the total, projecting 5.7 combined goals. Expect EK65 to cover both ends of the ice while Mario Ferraro and Marc-Edouard Vlasic step up to lock down the blue line. With Burns gone, the spotlight on defense shines brighter on two-time Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson, who looks as sharp as ever after registering three points (one goal, two assists) in two preseason tilts. That underestimate could play in Team Teal's favor and sets them up nicely for an upset in the season-opener as big guns Timo Meier and Tomas Hertl prepare to get their team back into playoff contention. In addition to Burns' exit, San Jose also hired a new general manager and coaching staff over the summer, so the overall expectation is that they'll land somewhere at the bottom of the West this season. Expect Preds captain Roman Josi to lead the way yet again with his two-way play. The Predators added veteran Ryan McDonagh while the Sharks subtracted Norris Trophy-winner Brent Burns, so there is an expectation that Nashville's d-corps will be better at shutting down big rushes than San Jose's is.
