With 48 games down, the Nashville Predators have reached the 2023 NHL All-Star Break and once again being right on the doorstep of the postseason bubble. A familiar place for this franchise.

At this same time in 2022, the Predators were 27-14-4. Just a few games better than in 2023. Although with many of the same core veterans, this roster has gone through some significant changes since that time.

The Predators are sending just one player to the NHL All Star Game in South Florida. Juuse Saros is making his second-straight appearance and was voted in on the original vote.

The additional fan vote voted Mikko Rantanen (Avalanche), Nathan MacKinnon (Avalanche) and Connor Hellebuyck (Jets) to complete the Central Division roster. Obviously all three are very deserving, but it did leave out Filip Forsberg and Roman Josi from representing for the Nashville Predators.

Let’s take a look at some intriguing storylines surrounding the Nashville Predators heading into the All-Star Break. They won’t play again until February 7 at home against the Vegas Golden Knights.
