It didn’t take long for Andrew Brunette to make an impression with the Nashville Predators. In his first season as Nashville’s head coach, Brunette guided the Preds to five more victories and seven more points than the team posted during the 2022-23 season under John Hynes. Those totals were enough to steer the Predators back into the playoffs after a one-year absence. During one stretch of the season, Nashville set a franchise record by earning at least a point in 18 straight games. Brunette finished second in the NHL’s Coach of the Year voting.
