Laviolette brought fresh perspective to Predators posted on 01/22/2015
Nashville Predators coach Peter Laviolette has found early success in his first season here, leading them to the best record in the NHL through the first half of the season.
Laviolette has given the Predators a new identity. They had been known as a tough defensive team since they came into the NHL in 1998-99 but Laviolette has added a more aggressive offense.
