We’re just days away from opening night of the 2017-18 NHL campaign and, therefore, we thought it might be a good idea to take a daily look at the Nashville Predators’ franchise record book. With these snapshots, you can keep up with the possible milestones, the personal accomplishments and the changing of the guard throughout the season.
Today’s installment? Goals scored in a Nashville sweater.
NOTE: While only active players (within the top 100) are listed, the all-time leader in each category is also listed in order to provide reference to the franchise’s bench mark. The all-time leader is denoted in red.
