Thursday’s game was a disaster. There’s no other way around the fact that the Predators were squelched by a strong forecheck and they showed no zip or energy.
The power play is not even worth discussing. It’s evident the team is frustrated based on post-game interviews on Thursday evening.
Viktor Arvidsson and the “JoFA” line are one of the team’s few bright spots right now. Arvidsson brings energy every single game. The Predators remain in second place in the Central Division behind the Winnipeg Jets.
