There’s no disputing that the Nashville Predators are treading water right now in hopes of remaining a legitimate contender to win back-to-back division titles. They’ve had to piece together starting rosters that no one saw coming thanks to so many key injuries.
Due to the unlucky breaks with guys missing so many games, the Predators are getting just two players into the NHL All-Star Game. Roman Josi and Pekka Rinne will represent the Nashville Predators in the event that will have four divisional teams. Being in the Central Division, Josi and Rinne will play under team captain Nathan MacKinnon of the Avalanche.
