Nashville Predators: Players Who Need to Elevate After Two Early Losses

With the season still very much in its infancy, the Nashville Predators are looking for that elusive first win of 2021-22, while still trying to solve their depth issues and build crucial line chemistry.

In the first two games, losses against the Seattle Kraken and Carolina Hurricanes, the Predators have committed some costly defensive mistakes that left them just short of at least getting it to overtime and a point in the standings.

Eight different Predators have registered at least one point through the first two games, but no one has more than three points (Filip Forsberg and Mikael Granlund each with three points). I’m looking for more players to get involved in the offense tonight against LA Kings.

Before I get into this list of players who need to elevate their individual games to a higher level, I want to make it clear that this doesn’t mean all of these player are necessarily playing horrible through just two games. It’s more about knowing they have room to improve and help the Predators get out of this early season slump.

Time to string together a few wins in a row and not dig a deep hole in the standings in what’s a difficult October schedule.
