Neal scores a natural hat trick in Predators’ win October 24, 2014

James Neal provided all the offense in Nashville’s 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks last night, lighting the lamp in each of the three periods. Brought in by the Predators in July to provide an offensive spark, the 27-year-old has done just that, scoring 5 goals in his first seven games with the club.   As a result, Nashville is off to a hot start in the Western Conference, leading the Central division with a record of 5-0-2.
