After splitting his first season of North American hockey between Nashville and Milwaukee (IHL), Denis earned full-time status in 2001-02, as well as the praise of his coach, Barry Trotz. "He's taken over that big, dominating center ice role," Trotz said. "He's a force every game. He doesn't let plays die. He's not going to let a hook or a grab keep him from getting to open spaces." Arkhipov became a 20-goal scorer when he notched his sixth GWG of the year on April 3, 2002, in Chicago.

Back to the Front! Predators card back du jour...
Mike Dunham
Dunham proved to be exactly what Nashville needed between the pipes during its inaugural season. The Predators netminder finished with 16 victories and a 3.08 goals against average. Even better was his save percentage, which at .908 placed him right in the middle of the pack. The reason that's noteworthy is that he did it with an expansion club, which should mean that improvement should be coming this go-round. Thus, Dunham figures to be Nashville's No. I goalie again this season.
