On the Forecheck, a Nashville Predators community

In a week which saw the spotlight turn toward Alexander Radulov and his remarkable return, it's Nashville's leading goal-scorer who has perhaps had the hottest hand of late.

Martin Erat's finally shaking off the "overpaid" label this season, as he stands ready to set career best offensive numbers for the Nashville Predators.

With the addition of Andrei Kostitsyn to the lineup, there's added pressure on the goal-scoring wingers to both produce, and Patric Hornqvist is getting it done.

In a week where eight different Nashville Predators scored one goal apiece, the guy who made the biggest difference in the team's fortunes didn't even put on skates.

If Wilson can combine workmanlike effort with the skills and hockey savvy he has already demonstrated, he will continue to develop into the power forward Nashville fans have been waiting for.

The Human Rocket Ship blasted back from a benching in grand fashion last week, as Ryan Ellis got back in the lineup and delivered the winning goal against Chicago on Tuesday night.

In a week without a win, the bright spot for the Nashville Predators is that the offense chipped in twice to overcome deficits, force overtime, and at least earn the team points in the standings.

This last week, it was Mike Fisher's turn to shine, as he led the Predators to a 2-0 record with 3 goals.

A shutdown defenseman's work is usually a thankless job - much like referees, the old saying applies that the less seen of them, the better. But this week, the hockey gods smiled on Kleiner.
