TODAY IS THE DAY! Opening night of the 2017-18 NHL campaign is here 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? Power Play Points 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.

MILESTONE WATCH: It’ll take nearly a career year to do it but, if Josi can put up 23 points on the man advantage this season, he’ll pass Steve Sullivan (103) for sole possession of fifth on the franchise’s all-time list. His career high on the power play is 24 (2015-16).
