Oh yeah, just a score-by-committee offense that can roll four solid lines and wear another team down in the span of 60 minutes. Leading in points is Patrice Bergeron, but the leading goal scorer is non other than 2nd pick of the 2010 Entry Draft Tyler S...

LEFTOVER THOUGHTS:
* Nine of the top 11 in Predators team scoring have double-digits in goals.
* Nashville can make it “10 with 10+” if Nick Spaling can somehow score three more before the season is over.
