The Nashville Predators assembled an outstanding 2017-18 season, securing 53 wins and 117 points to capture the Central Division title and the franchise's first Presidents' Trophy. Under head coach Peter Laviolette and newly appointed captain Roman Josi, the powerhouse campaign featured elite defense from P.K. Subban and offensive leadership from Filip Forsberg and Viktor Arvidsson, alongside stellar goaltending by Vezina Trophy winner Pekka Rinne. Although the regular-season champions were ultimately upset by the Winnipeg Jets in a thrilling seven-game second-round series, they solidified their elite status and treated fans to a historic, award-winning year.
