Whether you look at the glass half full or half empty, the Nashville Predators clearly need to find more consistency if they're going to remain in a wildcard spot at season's end.

The Predators are now at the halfway point of their 2023-24 campaign, but not before a major letdown performance against the Anaheim Ducks, one of the bottom teams in the Western Conference.

It's very alarming to see a team flip from their most impressive win of the season over the Dallas Stars only to turn in a dud like this one against the Ducks. With the loss, the Predators fall to 22-18-1 and just one point better than where they were at this time last season.

Let's start with the player awards through the first 41 games for the Nashville Predators.
