I ended my last story on Miikka Salomäki‘s great NHL debut by stating there is no telling how long of a stay he will have up in Nashville. Today the Nashville Predators have an answer to that. They’ve activated Taylor Beck and Matt Cullen from injured reserve and reassigned Salomäki back to the Milwaukee Admirals.
As mentioned previously, Salomäki had a total of 10:49 of ice time, recorded a goal from four shots, and had a game best seven hits. He actually had double the amount of hits of anyone else in the game last night. The 3-2 (OT) win for the Predators over the Dallas Stars meant that they moved into first place overall in the NHL last night with their 27-9-1 record.
How do you feel Miikka Salomäki will perform after having made his NHL debut? Do you feel he has made a statement as the go-to call up from Milwaukee?

Considering they called him up twice and on the second time, in his first game he played so well, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say he’ll be the first called up again if they need a forward again.
It’s been a bit of a rocky ride this season with the Ads, but overall, it sure is fun to have a season where both the Ads and the Preds are doing well (I’m considering the fact that the Ads are still technically in 8th overall in the Western Conference well). The Preds season is just awesome to watch and listen right now. I wish I could afford to go to some games in Chicago or Minnesota, but alas, I can’t afford the NHL prices for the few seats left and especially not the resale prices.
