No. 22: Nashville Predators

Previous: 20th

Season Record: 12-11-4

The Preds were supposed to take the Central Division by storm when they acquired P.K. Subban at the beginning of the season. Well, that hasn’t exactly happened. They’ve had a pretty mediocre season at best. As a matter of fact, they lost to the bottom of the basement in the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday, 4-1. They’re currently in fifth place in the Central Division, ahead of only the Dallas Stars and the Colorado Avalanche.
