Accomplishments

It certainly took a while for the Predators to get going in the NHL. There was no playoff qualification for the first five years of their existence. That changed during 2003-04, the season prior to the NHL lockout (2004-05).

Since then, the Nashville Predators’ Stanley Cup Playoffs record has been quite decent and they have only been absent from the postseason on three occasions. They have consistently progressed over the years to become a very competitive outfit as can be seen from recent successes.

In total, the Predators have 2 Division Championships, 1 Conference crown and 1 Presidents’ Trophy to their name. The 2016-17 season was one of their finest hours to date. Despite only managing 4^th position in their Division, the Smashville boys stormed through the Western Conference Playoffs to win their first major trophy.

They ultimately fell short in their first Stanley Cup Finals appearance against the Pittsburgh Penguins but this brilliant run was a clear indication that the Predators had arrived and were capable of challenging for the biggest honors.

In terms of playoff opponents, the Predators have frequently come up against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Detroit Red Wings, the Anaheim Ducks and the San Jose Sharks. They will surely be aiming for more glory in the playoffs and have their sights set on the ultimate prize. And given their recent exploits, not a lot of people would bet against them.
