Even Steven Stamkos himself didn’t see this coming. Not the Nashville Predators (38-32-10; 86 points) staying in the Western Conference wild card race until the bitter end. And especially not his eighth career 40-goal season, which the 36-year-old collected with a wraparound shot in the first period to help the Predators beat the Minnesota Wild 2-1 Saturday afternoon at Bridgestone […]

At least the Nashville Predators went down swinging. With a 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks followed by a 5-3 Los Angeles Kings win over the Seattle Kraken on Monday night, the Predators were officially eliminated from playoff contention. It took until the closing seconds of game No. 81 in an 82-game schedule to finish off the embattled Predators […]

Aiden Fink had to wait patiently to hear his name called in the 2023 NHL Draft. Finally, in the seventh round at pick No. 218 out of 224, the Nashville Predators chose him as retiring general manager David Poile’s last selection after a largely ceremonial trade with the New Jersey Devils. The days since that June afternoon have been a […]

Cole O’Hara wasted no time in registering his first career point Thursday night. Just 10 minutes into his first NHL game, the Nashville Predators rookie forward dumped the puck behind the net and let veteran center Ryan O’Reilly give chase.

Change is a constant in professional sports, especially for teams who miss the playoffs in consecutive seasons like the Nashville Predators. Next year’s roster will not look the same. It never does. But Predators players aren’t expecting a major summer overhaul either. Monday’s exit meetings provided that assurance as Nashville (38-34-10) continues its search to replace retiring general manager Barry […]

Trade deadline week was at least a bit uncomfortable for Ryan O’Reilly. Not only was the Nashville Predators center recovering from taking the butt end of Charlie Coyle’s stick to the face in a 3-2 loss at the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 3, but as the team’s most notable asset without official trade protection, O’Reilly was also up for […]

Although the Nashville Predators eventually moved past their slow start as a team, Jonathan Marchessault never truly broke out of his individual slump. It resulted in the 35-year-old forward’s least productive season since he became a full-time NHL player in 2016. Marchessault finished with 31 points (12 points, 19 assists) and a minus-18 rating. “Disappointed for sure,” he said. “I’ve […]

Patience has paid off for the Nashville Predators in their extensive search for a new general manager. The organization announced Tuesday their hiring of Chris MacFarland as president of hockey operations and general manager, elevating him from his current role as GM for the Colorado Avalanche.

Chris MacFarland wasn’t actively job hunting. He was content as general manager of the Colorado Avalanche, working under former Avs great and Hockey Hall of Famer Joe Sakic to build a perennial Stanley Cup contender. To secure MacFarland’s services, the Nashville Predators had to wait four months just for the chance to make their pitch. The six-person search committee – […]

Pekka Rinne was trying to corral his two young children at home in Finland when he received a call from an unfamiliar phone number. As the former Nashville Predators goaltender picked up, Hockey Hall of Fame officials Mike Gartner and Ron Francis were on the other end of the line. Rinne was one of six individuals named to the Hall […]
