Tommy Novak Stay Hot… Can He Lead the Nashville Predators Through a Tough Week?

The Nashville Predators are still in the playoff hunt thanks in large part to the efforts of Tommy Novak, who now has 38 points in just 44 games this season, the second-best points-per-game average on the Preds behind Roman Josi. Novak had his first four-point game in a 6-1 win over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday.

On today’s show, we break down why Novak’s hot performance down the stretch *IS* sustainable despite his high shooting percentage, and what his expectations are heading into the Preds’ rebuild. We also preview Monday night’s critical Central Division showdown against the Dallas Stars and highlight two key parts of the game that could decide a winner. And in this week’s Plus/Minus, we take a closer look at Luke Evangelista, Matt Duchene’s gnarly injury, the suddenly-red-hot Winnipeg Jets, and an emotional week for the Nashville Predators and their fans.
