Buckle up for November because it might get bumpy

Breaking down the schedule by each month and November really sticks out as one that can make-or-break the entire Predators season. It’s going to really test just how good or bad this team is.

First off, the Predators will play nine of their first ten games on the road in November. Those road games will include matchups with Dallas, St. Louis, Edmonton, Toronto and Colorado.

There’s always those stretches in an NHL season, especially the 82-game season, where you can hit a rough patch than you can never really recover from. Even last season the Predators nearly buried themselves too deep, but somehow defied the odds by sneaking into the playoffs.

A long losing streak can easily end up happening in this stretch just by looking at the opponents and where they’re currently projected to be.

Of course a lot of roster changes will happen between now and then, but boy does that not look like a fun month if the Predators are going to be as mediocre as many predict them to be.
