Now it's Bill Guerin's job to figure it out. Red Wings are 1-6 in the last 7 meetings. Head to Head Red Wings are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in Nashville. Under is 6-2 in Predators last 8 games as a home underdog. Predators are 8-22 in their last 30 games as an underdog of +201 or greater. No one seems quite sure what's wrong with the Wild. Over is 12-4-2 in Predators last 18 games as a favorite. With an upgraded defense (Olli Maatta and Calvin De Haan) and healthy goaltending, they can compete for a playoff spot. The Blackhawks could be a significant sleeper. Why should we believe it will happen this season? If Dustin Byfuglien retires, the Jets will feel it mightily. They were supposed to take a major step last season but it didn't happen. Two key questions: Will Jordan Binnington have the same level of consistency as he had last season? Do the Blues have the same hunger? They may be a better playoff team than they are a regular-season team. The Blues are the same team we watched win the Stanley Cup last June. The Stars went all-in with the signing of Joe Pavelski and Corey Perry. Kubalik re-emerged as a potent threat this season, falling one point shy of an NHL career-high 46 points (30 goals, 16 assists) set as a rookie with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2019-20. One key question: Why haven't the Predators resigned Roman Josi? He will be an unrestricted free agent next summer. This team has the depth to overcome the loss of P.K. ![]() Matt Duchene will upgrade the Predators' offense. Puck-moving defenseman Cale Makar will be a Calder Trophy contender. Nathan MacKinnon is as dominant as Connor McDavid. They are entertaining, exciting, dynamic and dangerous.
