GM #77: Seattle Kraken @ Winnipeg Jets
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Easter long weekend…I certainly am happy that I used a few holiday days to stretch it to a full 7 days without doing my day job. Moving on to look at the Western Conference’s wildcard race before action gets underway on Monday. The Winnipeg Jets are currently 3 points behind the Nashville Predators & Los Angeles Kings, who are tied for the 8th and final spot. The San Jose Sharks are only 2 points back of those clubs and 1 up on the Jets, while the St. Loui...
Sharks’ Comeback Falls Apart in 6-3 Loss to Predators
Alexander Wennberg’s third-period equalizer felt like a turning point. After erasing a three-goal deficit, the San Jose Sharks had life, energy, and belief. But against a playoff-caliber Nashville Predators team, it slipped away just as quickly in a 6-3 loss Saturday night at SAP Center. The San Jose Sharks fell to the Nashville predators 6-3 Saturday night at the SAP Center after a four game win streak. San Jose has yet to beat Nashville since 2019, and this game was another taste of wha...
3 Offseason Trade Destinations for Predators' Roman Josi
Following the 2026 NHL trade deadline, Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi was brought up as a potential dark-horse offseason trade candidate by The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun . If the Predators end up embracing a rebuild and making Josi available, there is no question that he would generate a ton of interest. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could pursue Josi if he is made available during the offseason. Detroit Red Wings The Red Wings are struggling to take that ne...
Predators' Request to Interview Top GM Turned Down; 4 Other Candidates Revealed
The Nashville Predators began their search for a new General Manager earlier this season when Barry Trotz announced he'd be stepping down. He and the front office are continuing their search, and word is they've tried to poach one of the most forward-thinking GMs in hockey. Only problem is, his current employers aren't interested in letting him go. Elliotte Friedman explains on Hockey Night in Canada: The Carolina Hurricanes wouldn't talk about it today, but I'm under the understanding.....
Predators at Sharks game 75: Lines, game thread and how to watch
In the grand scheme of games and the San Jose Sharks’ playoff hopes, this one is huge. The Sharks play host to the Nashville Predators tonight and this one has massive playoff implications. The Sharks and the Predators are tied with 79 points apiece and are fighting it out for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference. This is the second of three meetings between the two teams, which means there is plenty of opportunity for animosity to build up. The last time these two teams met, th...
3 Offseason Trade Destinations for Predators' Jonathan Marchessault
The fit between Jonathan Marchessault and the Nashville Predators has simply not been there. Because of this, the 35-year-old forward has been a trade candidate for quite some time now. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could try to land Marchessault this offseason. New Jersey Devils The Devils need another skilled winger in their top six, and it would not be particularly surprising if they pursued Marchessault this offseason because of it. The Devils have been connected to him...
3 Offseason Trade Destinations For Predators' Steven Stamkos
Nashville Predators forward Steven Stamkos was a popular name in the rumor mill leading up to the 2026 NHL trade deadline. The 36-year-old forward generated interest, but Nashville, of course, chose to keep him around. However, with the Predators in a retool, Stamkos will be a trade candidate to watch during the summer. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Stamkos this offseason if he is made available. New Jersey Devils It has been an incredibly di...
NHL Rumors: 3 Seattle Kraken Offseason Trade Candidates
The Seattle Kraken have been trending in the wrong direction as of late. After losing seven out of their last 10 games, the Kraken are now three points behind the Los Angeles Kings for the final wild card spot in the Western Conference. They are also behind the San Jose Sharks, Nashville Predators, and Winnipeg Jets. If the Kraken end up missing the playoffs again, they very well could end up making some changes to their roster this offseason. Because of this, let's look at three Kraken offsea...
The unfortunate inevitability of sports
I had fully intended to write a post about the departure of Steven Stamkos. I dated it in July of 2024, shortly after he’d been traded to the Nashville Predators. I shelved it, not only because it hurt but because Continue reading The unfortunate inevitability of sports →
Lightning come back to beat Predators, 3-2
We could write a thousand words about today’s game. Or we could just link back to the previous three or four recaps. The Tampa Bay Lightning struggled to start the game, fell behind, tied the game, and were the better team in the third period. Corey Perry tapped home a shot that snuck through Justus Annunen’s pads seven minutes into the third period to give the Bolts the 3-2 lead. To the Lightning’s credit, they’re getting better. They only went down one goal this time, and it took almost...
Oilers assistant GM Bill Scott interviews for vacant Predators GM job
Edmonton Oilers assistant general manager Bill Scott, known best for his lucky socks, has interviewed with the Nashville Predators for their vacant general manager’s job, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported. Scott joined the Oilers organization as the general manager of their AHL affiliate, the Oklahoma City Barons, for the 2010-11 season, spending four years there. He was…

Bottom Six Minutes: Ivan Demidov makes prey of the Predators
While 77 points would barely have a team out of the basement in the Eastern Conference, for the Nashville Predators, it is currently enough for a wild card spot. Battling to hold on to their spot, they hosted the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night, a team embroiled in their own heated battle, and theirs being in the most competitive division in hockey right now. The Habs outclassed their hosts for most of the game, opening up a 4-0 lead, and nearly earning a shutout for Jacob Fowler if not f...

Quick Bites: Sloppy First Period Hurts Sharks Playoff Chances
Pregame: The Sharks started their 3-game road trip in Nashville tonight in front of a sold-out Nashville crowd. They needed to start this road trip with a win by playing urgently and confidently (spoiler alert: they did NOT). The Sharks went into tonight on a 4-game losing streak, while the Predators were on a 4-game winning streak. With the Sharks chasing the Preds for the second wild card spot in the West, it was imperative that they put their best food forward in what was the biggest g...

NHL Rumors: Predators GM Search Starting to Narrow
The Nashville Predators look like they’re finally narrowing down their candidates to be their next general manager. After weeks of conversations with a wide range of candidates, the sense coming out of the NHL’s general managers meetings is that Nashville is getting closer to trimming the field for Barry Trotz’s replacement. Trotz already said the organization cast a “wide net” and plans to reduce the candidate pool soon, while Elliotte Friedman reported the Predators could cut the list ...
Run Right Back: Predators 3, Blackhawks 2 (OT)
The Chicago Blackhawks lost to the Nashville Predators 3-2 in overtime on Sunday afternoon, a game that helped Nashville solidify its hold on the second wildcard spot. Nick Lardis opened the scoring 4:34 into the second period following a 2-on-1 rush with Frank Nazar. The play was initiated by a pass from Tyler Bertuzzi in the defensive zone, and Lardis’s pass to Nazar went off Nicolas Hague’s stick and into the net. GOAL: Nick Lardis' pass deflects in to open the scoring! pic.twitte...
