Matt Hendricks figured he might win a Stanley Cup one day with the Nashville Predators.

Nearly five years later, he's still gunning for that elusive NHL championship — this time with the Winnipeg Jets, who need to send the Predators packing to keep that dream alive.

Hendricks, who was drafted by the Predators in 2000 but had a relatively brief stop there 13 years later, acknowledges it's funny how things come full circle during a long hockey career.
