The 27-year-old centerman skated in his sixth NHL season with the Predators in 2019-20, posting nine goals and 15 points in 57 games. He hit the 15-point mark for the third consecutive campaign and won 51.3 percent of his faceoffs, the fourth-best mark on the team.
Sissons is a key penalty killer for Nashville and is often relied upon for important faceoffs in his own end. He may not wear a letter on his jersey, but Sissons is also regarded as a leader for the Preds and is well-respected in his own room and across the League.

- He has notched two career regular-season hat tricks, the first of which came on Jan. 5, 2017, against Tampa Bay that made him the first player in NHL history to score at least three goals in a game with his second being an empty-netter and his third being scored on a goalie.
- Sissons played for current Predators Assistant Coach Dan Lambert with the WHL's Kelowna Rockets from 2010-13, serving as captain for his final two seasons.
Fun Fact:
- Sissons recorded the second hat trick in Nashville postseason history in Game 6 of the 2017 Western Conference Final, helping send the Predators to their first Stanley Cup Final. He became the first player to notch a hat trick in a series-clinching win in the conference finals since 2013.
