Overview
- The Predators are 6-10-4 after a 1-6-2 stretch that included a 4-0 loss in Stockholm, leaving them near the bottom of the Central Division.
- Barry Trotz said on Nov. 20 he has no plans to fire Andrew Brunette and on Nov. 21 put the chance of naming himself coach at 0.0%.
- Trotz praised Brunette and his assistants for their work and said results reflect shared accountability among coaches, players, and the front office.
- Nashville is averaging 2.4 goals per game, ranking 31st, and Trotz acknowledged he did not give the staff the best hand, particularly at center.
- Trotz reiterated he is not pursuing a rebuild or moving top contracts, while outside analysts continue to discuss a potential coaching change and float David Carle as a long-term candidate unavailable until summer.
