One of the few boxes the Nashville Predators had yet to check as a young NHL franchise was beginning its own Hall of Fame. The Preds can now check that box.

Filip Forsberg scored his 300th career NHL goal on Jan. 16 vs. Chicago. He is one power-play goal (80) from passing Shea Weber (80) for the most in Predators history. Vinnie Hinostroza is two assists from 100 in his NHL career.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A trio of former Nashville Predators were inducted into the team’s inaugural Golden Hall class. The first round of inductees included former players Shea Weber and Pekka Rinne and former general manager David Poile.

The Predators will recognize the first three inductees into the franchise’s Golden Hall when Nashville takes on the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday. Former general manager David Poile, former defenseman Shea Weber and former goaltender Pekka Rinne will be honored during a ceremonial puck drop before the contest at Bridgestone Arena.

The Predators went 7-0-1 vs. the Blackhawks in 2020-21, their most wins against Chicago in a single season in team history. Nashville outscored Chicago 25-14, allowing two-or-fewer goals in seven of those contests. The team’s seven wins against Chicago in 2020-21 were its most vs. a single opponent in a season since 2007-08 (seven vs. Columbus).
