As for how those particular players could perform, here is a of sorts: on how many goals Filip Forsberg scores: 35 Only one player Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin, ho led the NHL in goals for the fourth consecutive season had more goals than 19 following the All-Star break last season. That included two natural hat trickswithin a three-game spanin February, which been accomplished since November 1986. second-half pace equaled roughly 49 goals over a full season, a significant bump from the 23-goal pace he was on entering the All-Star reak. He made the most of his opportunities, scoring on 18.8 percent of his shots (19 goals on 101shots) over the final 50 games, a rate assuredly unsustainable. Nevertheless, Forsberg ended the season with 33 oals, tying forward Jason Arnott for the single-season goal-scoring record.

Forsberg, who signed a six-year, $36 million contractJune 27, should break that record next season if he can find more consistency. He may fall short of 40 goals, though; Nashville is the only NHL team that has never had a 40-goal scorer. Bet: Over on how many points defenseman P.K. Subban scores: 60 Subban has reached 50 points in each of the past three seasons, notching a career-high 60 two years ago. Now that going to play in a system that may be ore tailored to his offensive talents, the possibility of ahighly productive season strongly exists.

combined 164 points over the past three seasons, third-most among NHL defensemen, 31were goals. Former Predators captain Shea Weber, traded to the Canadiens for Subban on June 29, had 12 fewer points within that same span, but 27 more goals. No longer having the reliability of powerful slap shot, the Predators could turn to Subban to replace it, especially on the power play, where Weber led NHL efensemen with 14 goals. The power play, which funneled through Weber, could be more dynamic a well with less predictability. shot, though not as fear-inducing as is still potent.

He is a premier playmaker, and with more chances to score, he should collect more points. Last season, Roman Josiset the single-season scoring record for defensemen with 61 points. be surprised if Subban breaks it. Bet: Over on goaltender Pekka save percentage: .917 Of 10 NHL goaltenders who made at least 60 starts last season, .908 save percentage was the worst. It was also well below the .915 league average and his .917 career average.

inne, 33, was subpar last season, but showed in spurts that he can still be one of the best. In his last 20 appearances of the regular season, for example, he had a 2.27 goals-against average and percentage. The Predators have positioned themselves as a Western Conference contendernext season, but up-and-down play is regularly cited as a reason why they may fall short of those high expectations. It be difficult for Rinne to bounce back, but it ay not be to a significant extent.
