When he began his Nashville tenure, head coach John Hynes was considered a damaged property.
That is because the New Jersey Devils fired Hynes a few weeks before his arrival. Thus, Hynes faced NHL Betting skepticism from Day One. But over time, the Hynes brand has shown marked improvement. First, the Devils haven’t gotten any better.
Additionally, Hynes is the last coach to take New Jersey to the playoffs. And then the Predators have taken impressive form under Hynes. Last season’s playoff appearance by Nashville was considered a fluke. This year Nashville is proving to be one of the best teams in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Dallas Stars are fighting for their playoff lives.
