The Nashville Predators have been on a roll lately, and a big part of that success has been the emergence of Eeli Tolvanen. Tolvanen was picked up on the waiver wire from the New Jersey Devils, and he has made an immediate impact on the Predators. On Tuesday night, Tolvanen scored three points in the Predators’ Game 6 victory over the Dallas Stars.
Tolvanen scored his first goal of the game in the first period to give the Predators a 1-0 lead. He then added an assist on a power-play goal in the second period to extend the lead to 3-0. Tolvanen capped off his impressive performance with another goal in the third period to make it 4-1.
Tolvanen’s performance was a welcome sight for the Predators, who have been struggling to score goals lately. The 21-year-old forward has been a spark plug for the team since being picked up on waivers, and he has quickly become a fan favorite. He has scored five goals and seven points in just seven games since joining the Predators.
Tolvanen’s performance against the Stars was a reminder of why he was so highly sought after when he was available on the waiver wire. He is a dynamic player who can create offense with his speed and skill. He also has a great shot and is not afraid to shoot the puck.
The Predators are hoping that Tolvanen can continue to be a difference maker for them as they make their push for the playoffs. With his performance against the Stars, it is clear that he is capable of making an impact at this level. If he can continue to produce like he did in Game 6, then the Predators will be in good shape as they make their playoff push.
