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? 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.

22 – Ryan Ellis (141)
33 – Ryan Johansen (95)

t-64 – PK Subban (40)
t-73 – Austin Watson (28)
t-83 – Colton Sissons (20)

MILESTONE WATCH: In his last four seasons, Johansen has averaged 63.8 points a year. If he matches that average, he’ll find his name (and his 159 points) in the franchise’s top 25 after just two and a half seasons with the club. Only Paul Kariya would have produced at a greater clip (161 points in two seasons).
