Final Thoughts

As the 2022-23 season begins and progresses, we should continue to see the Nashville Predators power play grow. With the showing of last season, it seems like the power play is finally starting to become an asset rather than a liability.

The first unit is likely going to remain the same as last season, and seeing the production from them last season, its easy to see why. With five of the best players this roster has to offer, expect the first unit to only grow from here and continue to produce.

The second unit was a bit of a sore spot last season, but with a few bounce back seasons and a little shakeup of the unit, I believe they will find their stride and help to produce to make the power play truly dangerous for any team unfortunate enough to face it.

Only Head Coach John Hynes will know what the units will look like come opening night. If he continues on with the first unit and shakes up the second a little, we could be in for a real treat when the Preds are on the power play. If the team can fire on all cylinders and have both units producing consistently, we will be in for a real treat.
