Penalty Killing Crew

The Nashville Predators have one thing going for them and it’s the penalty kill. With how many penalties the Predators take it’s a good thing that their kill is decent.

Nashville’s penalty killing forwards have put their bodies on the line each game and for that the team is ranked 11th with an 80.6% penalty kill percentage.

Yakov Trenin, Tanner Jeannot, Mikael Granlund, Ryan McDonagh and Colton Sissons have all been phenomenal on the penalty kill.

Penalty kill minutes are the hardest minutes in hockey to play and the Nashville Predators penalty killers are called upon and answer that call multiple times per game. Killing off a penalty can lead to a turn in momentum and change the outcome of a game.

Overall Grade: B
