Preds On the Prowl
Nashville is building themselves a sizeable lead and heading for the cup. Now there only 3 points up from Buffalo and 5 from Detroit and Anahiem but with three seemingly easy games headed there way that point spread could grow. Coming up against Pittsburgh, the Leafs and the kings, should be a breeze for the Preds and an easy way to putting them further ahead. Buffalo doesn't get an easier game until they take on the Oilers on the 15th.
Nashville's point leader is none other then Paul Kariya, shocker, with 58 points in 54 games, i'd say thats not to bad. Right behind Paul is Steve Sullivan with 55 points and behind him, Martin Erat with 47. Chris Mason has played the majority of the games this season starting 32 out of a possible 54 games, due to Vokouns injuries. In those 32 games has managed to pull in 44 points with 21 wins and 2 OTL. Tomas Vokoun who has been in for the Preds recent 7 out of 10 game winning streak has helped his team win 16 out of his 24 starts in net and only has 6 loses and 1 OTL on the season.
The Predators have a record of 37 14 3 with 77 points. They have the second highest Goals For,190, trailing only the Red Wings,202. Chris Mason is 4th in the league for shutouts with 5, and first in the NHL for save % at .929.
Now i'm not exactly of fan of Nashville and I don't follow them much but they definitly have proved they have what it takes, good players and two strong goaltenders to back them up.
