The Nashville Predators have one of the worst records in the NHL for the power play they rank 28th in the league 75% with seven goals, and 14 shorthanded goals. They faced the Boston Bruins, the Bees have the best power in the league and the comparison on the power play is one extreme to the other and guess what happened in that Monday game? Nashville scored late to beat the Bruins 3-2.
