We’re barely past the quarter mark of the 2021-22 season for the Nashville Predators, and there’s already been several intriguing storylines that have developed.

The Nashville Predators impressively sit right in the thick of the Central Division race with teams like the Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues. Heading into the season many figured this season to be somewhat of a project for the Predators, but they’re figuring out a way to remain a viable playoff contender, at least early on.
