Even taking a step back from that, it’s not unreasonable to believe this core is capable of rebounding. Stamkos and Marchessault each recorded 13 points across Nashville’s opening 28 games, and those slow starts from two important players are part of what snowballed the Predators into such a bad campaign. However, that duo was adjusting to a new environment after long stints with their previous teams — that’s especially true for Stamkos, who spent his first 16 seasons with Tampa Bay — and that might have impacted those early-season results. At this point, they’ve settled in, though, so when given the opportunity for a clean slate in 2025-26, they’re likely to perform better.
