The Nashville Predators with Swiss captain Roman Josi are playing increasingly well in the National Hockey League. After the 3-2 overtime victory against the Philadelphia Flyers, they consolidated their playoff place.
The Preds started the season poorly. They won only five of the first fifteen games. They had to be careful not to lose sight of the play-off positions. But for the past month, Nashville has been back to normal. The turning point came in the home game against the Colorado Avalanche, when the Predators trailed 2-3 with 38 seconds left and won thanks to two goals in 16 seconds.
11th win from the last 14 games
“Yes, that spectacular win against Colorado certainly made a difference,” says captain Roman Josi, looking back, “we have been doing well ever since.” A series of six victories followed; Tuesday’s 3-2 home win against Philadelphia is already the 11th victory in the last 14 games.
Josi contributed an assist to the winning goal after just 18 seconds of extra time. Filip Forsberg scores 3:2. The Swede has already scored 15 goals this season – and won extra time for the 10th time in his career. No other player in Nashville Predators history has scored more goals in overtime.
It’s not just the Nashville Predators rolling onto the NHL field from behind. The Edmonton Oilers – playoff semifinalists last season – recently celebrated eight straight wins after a coaching change. The Oilers have already scored ten points; There is now only one point missing in the play-off rankings. Canadian Edmonton won 4-1 against the Chicago Blackhawks, Philipp Kurashev’s team. Chicago is heading in the other direction: after just two wins from the last eight rounds, the Blackhawks have reached the bottom of the table. (SDA)
