Teams that have won 11 of their last 13 games with the All-Star break looming (not including tonight’s game in Chicago) typically may not want to see a week-long break that could halt momentum. But for Predators head coach Barry Trotz, the All-Star break can’t come soon enough.“I am very excited about the All-Star break coming, and there are 23 guys in that room that are very...

Bourque bringing energy to Preds lineup
At first glance, you may not think a rookie forward with four points in 12 games would be overly effective in his first month of NHL action. But when it comes to Gabriel Bourque, stats don’t matter as much as the little things he brings to the lineup on a nightly basis. Alongside Nick Spaling and Jordin Tootoo on the team’s energy line, Bourque has found a home with the Predators...
