Nashville Predators: Don’t look now, a new team is at the top
Back on top
#2 – St. Louis Blues
Last Week: #3
Results last week: Win at Montreal, Win against Dallas, Win against Detroit, Win against Buffalo
Four games, four wins. Sure, the competition was average, but outscoring opponents 16-6 in those games shows promise. And, you scored only two goals on the power play. You are great at even-strength, but the power play is suspect. Two goals in 16 chances?
#1 – Los Angeles Kings
Last Week: #4
Results last week: Win against Minnesota, Win against Ottawa, Win against Carolina
Congrats, Los Angeles. You are back in the top spot. Two weeks ago, you were not even a blip on my radar because you had fallen so far. Now? Eight wins in a row. I wish it was against better competition. It took overtime against Ottawa and Carolina, but wins are wins. Your next three games will be challenging road matches. Let’s see if the trend continues.
