The Nashville Predators made a splash in NHL free agency by signing top players Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Brady Skjei, but their season has taken a disappointing turn. After a hefty $108 million investment, the team finds itself at the bottom of the league standings, struggling with just four wins in their first 14 games.
Frustration is palpable among players, with Stamkos acknowledging the need for adjustment and improvement. Veteran Ryan O'Reilly expressed concern over his lack of scoring, while coach Andrew Brunette emphasized the importance of consistent effort. Despite outshooting opponents, the Predators are being outscored significantly, and their luck appears to be running thin.
Goaltender Juuse Saros has been a bright spot, performing well despite the team's challenges. With a low shooting percentage and mounting pressure, the Predators are aware that they must turn things around quickly to salvage their season.
