Nashville Predators and playoffs: Little time to ‘figure things out’ | The Tennesseean
The article rightly states that the Preds are fortunate that the division has been as poor as it’s been this year. In many seasons, 83 points in 71 games (a pace of 95 points over 82) would have the team scrapping for a wild card spot over the final few weeks of the season. This year, it’s been good enough to keep Nashville in second in the division with an outside chance at the division title.
