Predators’ Colton Sissons Having Career Year for Predators in 10th Season
January 5, 2024 by Emma Lingan
Nashville Predators head coach Andrew Brunette did not hold back in expressing his disappointment following his team’s 6-3 loss to the Calgary Flames on Thursday.
“A lot of sloppy hockey,” Brunette said when asked to characterize his team’s performance. “A lot of slow-twitch thinking and playing and not [being] ready to start. Pretty much everything – I don’t think we did anything very well.”
Brunette’s tone shifted, however, when asked about the play of forward Colton Sissons, who redirected a Dante Fabbro shot into the back of the net late in the first period for his 12th goal of the season. Brunette lauded Sissons, a bright spot for the Predators both in Thursday’s game and throughout the first half of the season, as an example of how he wants the rest of his team to play.
