Don’t look now but the Nashville Predators are making things mighty interesting with only 23 games left in their season and just four points out of a playoff spot.
Most of us had them dead in the water prior to the franchise record road trip that spanned over two weeks. They came out of that better than any of us could’ve expected, and a big reason why is the Predators are getting incredible goaltender from both Juuse Saros and Pekka Rinne.
