After being "overmatched" in Wednesday's matchup against an experienced Predators roster, the younger Canes responded well with a bounce-back showing on Saturday. Give credit to the goaltending in the contest from both Frederik Andersen and Spencer Martin, but it's a great sign to see the group step up in their second shot at the Preds' veterans.

Jonathan Marchessault is having an easy time fitting in with his new team, the Nashville Predators. In just two preseason games, he has scored three goals and recorded five points.

Despite the major moves and the Predators bringing in multiple veterans who have won Stanley Cups, the oddsmakers are still overlooking them. According to Moneypuck's season predictions, Nashville has the 13th best odds of making the playoffs in 2024-25 with a 66.6% chance.
