The 2017-18 NHL regular season is complete and left us with several surprises along the way. Few people picked the Nashville Predators to walk away with the Presidents’ Trophy, much less the Central Division crown. But, it actually happened. The Predators finished the season with 117 points, more than any other year in their franchise history. We all knew this team could be good, but the Predators showed us just how good they can be all season.
Nashville was not the only surprise, and they may not be the biggest. The Vegas Golden Knights started the season in astonishing fashion.
