Nashville Predators Defense #48
The eleventh percentile, and the second-most five-on-five minutes on the club.

Last Season
Three goals and 10 assists in 79 games — 13 points, minus-14, at 19:07 a night.
The Finesse Game
Almost none. A hundred and twelve unblocked attempts from a median of 47 feet, nine per cent inside twenty, three goals. Seventy-six points in 299 career games.
Ten assists in 79 games of nineteen-minute nights is close to the lowest offensive return in this edition for that workload.
The Physical Game
Six foot four, 206, and he defends with reach. Twenty penalty minutes in 79 games is disciplined and also describes a defenceman who does not impose himself.
The Intangibles
Forty-four point three per cent of the expected goals, 11th percentile, with the chances running 45.9 to 57.7 against across 1,259 minutes and the actual goals 45-65.
That is the worst mark of any Nashville regular, in the second-most minutes on the team, and it is the single clearest reason a club with Forsberg, Stamkos, O’Reilly and Josi finished 27th in expected goals against.
Three points in his last ten. He is 28, a hundred and sixty-ninth overall pick who made himself into an NHL defenceman in Tampa, and he is being asked here to play a role two levels above the one the numbers support.
