The Nashville Predators joined a growing trend in the NHL Sunday, scratching forward Tanner Jeannot ahead of their contest with the Arizona Coyotes for what the team called “trade-related reasons.”

Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek reported Saturday that Jeannot is just one of the Predators players garnering attention from teams around the league.
Jeannot’s production has suffered this year after recording 24 goals, 130 penalty minutes and finishing seventh in Calder Trophy voting during his rookie campaign one season ago.
The 25-year-old Estevan, Sask., native is on the radar of teams coveting a power forward. Marek suggested the Dallas Stars could be one of them and he added Jeannot wouldn’t come cheap.
Meanwhile, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman added that the Tampa Bay Lightning “made a pitch” for the Preds forward.
Jeannot has five goals and nine assists in 56 appearances for Nashville this season. He is also a pending RFA
