Nashville Predators: Three Positives from Win over Chicago Blackhawks

Conclusion and Future Outlook

Wins like the one the Nashville Predators had on Monday give people second thoughts, because that was a game that they controlled against a team that is usually a bad matchup for them, and if anything the final result was closer than it should have been. The way they responded should not make anyone any more or less excited about the coming games.

It is good to see the offense do as well as they did in this one, but defensively, it still has to be better. If you play with fire, you will get burned, and I do not see how a better team would not have made the Predators pay more than the Blackhawks did.

Overall, they rightfully won this game because they were the better team, but if the wins moving forward have to be this ugly, the season is not going to get much better. It makes sense to be hopeful but not convinced that this team has turned things around.
