As the NHL season rolls on, the Nashville Predators hit a buzz saw on the road against the Dallas Stars, who finally got their season started.

The Predators have now lost three in a row and are 2-3-0 on the young season, with their special teams debacle carrying over from last season.

The rest of the division is taking shape as Tampa Bay is predictably in first place with six points and a 3-1-0 record. However, the Stars, Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes have played three games or less.

In this crazy season we find ourselves in, let’s give you another edition of our Central Division power rankings from the Predlines staff.
