Nashville Predators: Looking Back At Every 2nd Round Series in Franchise History

As the Nashville Predators prepare for the Winnipeg Jets in the second round, let’s take a look at every second-round series in franchise history.

It’s easy to forget how young the playoff success is for the Nashville Predators. They’ve been making the playoffs regularly since their first trip playoff berth in 2004. However, this current trip to the second round marks just the fifth time in franchise history.

Now they can call themselves one of those teams after last year’s run and what they’re accomplishing this season.

This current playoff run marks the fifth time the Predators are in the second round. Hard to believe, but the Predators are still new to going deep in the playoffs. The trip to the Stanley Cup Final last year made that fact easy to forget.
