No. 12: Nashville Predators

Previous: 12th

Season record: 25-19-8 (58 points)

Going 6-2-2 in their past ten games, the Preds are finally rounding into the form everyone predicted they would show three months ago. Pekka Rinne can still produce a monster performance, but has struggled all year to find any consistency in net. Can Nashville catch the Blackhawks? Not likely.
