Nashville Predators: A Wing and Some Prayers

Third Line

Calle Jarnkrok is like a roster repair man. If there’s a hole in the forward chart, he can fill it and fill it well. Able to play either wing or center, he’s shown the ability to go toe-to-toe with the league’s best, spending a good portion of this past season on the top line.

Jarnkrok plays a well-rounded and positive game, earning a +1 plus/minus rating on the season while eating solid penalty kill minutes. The 24-year-old showed marked improvement across the board in his second NHL season and will be looking to take the next step by adding a spark to his offensive game which managed 16 goals and 30 points through 81 games in 2015-16.
