 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Take a look at the NHL standings. The team at the top hasn't been perennial President's Trophy winner Detroit, or even the defending Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes. No, it's the Nashville Predators.
The expansion franchise best known for trying to survive in a Southern market, and which has never won a playoff series, all of a sudden is focusing on a run for the Stanley Cup.
The Predators headed into the weekend leading the NHL with 79 points following a 4-2 win Thursday night over Toronto. That's one point more than Buffalo, and three more than Central Division rival Detroit.
