Excited to share I’m joining @NHLMedia as its Nashville Predators freelance correspondent. You’ll find my byline on NHL.com throughout the upcoming season.

Grateful for the opportunity to continue writing!

The Predators now own the longest winning streak in the NHL at 6 games. They got there by beating the league's other hottest team on the road.

Feels like something special could be brewing.

Huge goal for the Predators. Shane Wright scores his first with Nashville, and Roman Josi notches career point No. 800.

Josi is the first player in franchise history to reach the milestone. Forsberg is on his tail at 778 points.

Nils Hoglander is the third Predators player on record to score a between-the-legs goal. Juuso Parssinen (4/13/2023) and Matthew Wood (12/6/2025) also did it. The NHL's shot type database goes back to 2009-10.

You're not going to see many shots more impressive than this through-the-legs goal from Nils Hoglander.

It's starting to look like a bounce-back season for Hoglander, who had just 5 points in 38 games last year.
