Nashville Predators: How to Beat the Avalanche
By Jake Evans
STAY HEALTHY!
This is the biggest key to the postseason. If you throw everything I’ve said so far out the window, this is the one that has to stay. If Nashville cannot stay healthy, they’re in trouble.
Last season, Nashville suffered major injuries to Kevin Fiala and Ryan Johansen in the playoffs, creating a void younger players had to step into.
Nashville is a very deep team, especially after the additions of Ryan Hartman, Mike Fisher, and Eeli Tolvanen, however, injuries are never good.
The Predators have the luxury of one of the deepest benches in the league, however, losing a key player is game and series-altering.
Nashville has built fantastic chemistry this year, as their core group has remained the same for a few years now. Any alteration to that core group of production could be a huge wrench in the Predators playoff path.
Nashville has been blessed with good health this season, with no real major injuries. That being said, let’s please keep it that way.
Knock on wood
