Nashville Predators: Regular Season Awards for Predators
By Steve Cook
Best Predators Game: February 22 vs. San Jose Sharks (7-1 win)
There were certainly a lot of contenders for this one, but the complete & utter domination of the always tough Sharks took the cake for me. Pekka Rinne was sitting on 299 career wins, & his teammates wanted to make sure he didn’t have to wait too long for 300. The Predators haven’t had a great record against the Sharks over the years, so it’s always nice when the tables are turned for a little bit.
Worst Predators Game: March 31 vs. Buffalo Sabres (7-4 loss)
The Sabres ended the season with the worst regular season record. How they managed to score more goals during one game against the Predators than anybody else this season, I’ll never know. I can only assume Peter Laviolette & the boys wanted Sabres coach & former Predators assistant coach Phil Housely to look good.
