#13 Yakov Trenin

Coming off a season that ended with Yakov Trenin showing some serious offensive ability, this season did not live up to the hype that he had built for it. Last season, Trenin posted 17 goals and seven assists for 24 points.

While this season he posted the same point total, he lacked in the goal scoring department with of even split of 12 and 12 in goals and assists. Trenin was also a -7 in the +/- column.

While this is a Not Hot list, I do have to point out that Trenin was by far one of the best penalty killers on the team all season long. However, his 47 penalty minutes were the highest in his NHL career.

Trenin’s numbers in hits and blocked shots were also both down from just one season ago with Trenin recording 24 less hits than the 2021-22 season. This contributed to the lack of physicality in the Nashville Predators game.

In a season where Trenin saw more time on ice per game than any other season in his career, more was expected of him, and the Predators did not get the production they were looking for from him.
