NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks’ Win Streak Means Small Move
By Colin Likas

No. 11: Nashville Predators
Previous: No. 20
Record: 23-17-7 (53 points)
What a difference getting your star defenseman back, going on a 7-3-0 run and winning three straight makes. P.K. Subban’s return seems to have been a nice pick-me-up for the Preds, who most recently knocked off red-hot Minnesota 4-2 with three third-period goals. They’re still 12 points back of Chicago and Minnesota (with two games in hand on the Blackhawks), but if this team can stay healthy, there’s a chance they can keep surging.
