The Nashville Predators defeat Chicago this afternoon 5-4 in OT. The Preds are over .500 for the first time since going 4-3-1 in the first eight games in their...
... The Predators only appear to be over .500 because they have four participation badges (i.e., points for overtime losses). To me, a loss is a loss, no...
