The Nashville Predators Still Hunting The Elusive Stanley Cup

from Nicholas J. Cotsonika of NHL.com,

After making the 2017 Stanley Cup Final, the Predators won the Presidents' Trophy as the NHL's top regular-season team, setting a franchise record with 117 points. They defeated the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference First Round, then lost to the Winnipeg Jets in the second round.

The Jets finished second to the Predators in the NHL standings with 114 points, and that series went seven games. Still, it was little consolation.

"I thought we could have played better," Johansen told NHL.com at the 2018 Player Media Tour in Chicago last week. "That was kind of the thing that's frustrating. Probably speaking for everyone on our team, we had a little regret, it seemed like, and that's the main thing. You want to be able to hang your hat and say, 'I had no regrets, even though I lost.'"
