#2 – Filip Forsberg

Filip Forsberg put on an amazing show for the Predators in the month of October. He scored a record eight goals just in the month of October. Eight goals in the month of October is a franchise record for the Nashville Predators.

Forsberg has been one of the most impressive players in the league so far this year. His eight goals on the year is tied 4th in the league. Forsberg is the league leader in power play goals with five. He is also the team leader in points right now, as he has 13 points, with P.K. Subban (9 points) and Ryan Johansen (6 points) behind Forsberg.

Forsberg scored the Predators first goal in the loss to the Flames on Tuesday. That goal, with no surprise, came on the power play. He also scored the Predators first goal on Saturday night against the Islanders.

This start for Filip Forsberg is much different from last season, as he didn’t score a single goal last season in the month of October. Hopefully Forsberg can keep these numbers up for the Predators in the month of November. The Predators will need for Forsberg to keep up these numbers throughout the season, and hopefully that will equate to another deep run in the playoffs for the Predators.
