Predators' Laviolette paces Adams race at midpoint

With the first half of the 2014-15 season complete, NHL.com looks at some of its biggest storylines and award contenders.

The Nashville Predators are the latest to experience a renaissance under Peter Laviolette.

In parts of 12 seasons coaching the New York Islanders, Carolina Hurricanes and Philadelphia Flyers, Laviolette's teams have improved dramatically in his first full season. The 2001-02 Islanders started 11-1-1 and finished with 96 points, the eighth-most in the NHL, one season after placing 30th with 52 points. The Hurricanes went from 23rd (76 points) in 2003-04, when he took over 30 games into the season, to fourth (112) in 2005-06. The Flyers moved from 18th (88 points) in 2009-10 when he took over 25 games into the season, to third (106) in 2010-11.

Laviolette is at it again with the Predators. After finishing three points out of the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference last season, Nashville has emerged as one of the NHL's biggest surprises; its 60 points are the most in the League. The Predators are 13-0-0 following a loss and their 41-game start (28-9-4) was the best in franchise history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
