From Mike Chen (hey, that’s me!) at Versus.com: Marian Gaborik and David Legwand don’t have too much in common. Gaborik is a speedy scorer from the Czech Republic while Legwand is a U.S.-born center. Gaborik’s contractual future is uncertain while Legwand signed a long-term extension last season. Gaborik scores highlight-reel goals for the Minnesota Wild (when healthy) while Legwand is a fixture on...

From the Chatham Daily News this morning, we have a feature on Ryan Jones, the college star who came to Nashville in the Marek Zidlicky trade, and most recently has filled out the Predators’ second line with David Legwand and Martin Erat: He hasn’t forgotten his path to the NHL, and neither have his teammates. “They get a kick out of the fact I was working at Taco Bell five years ago,” Jones said....

After failing to show up on the scoresheet during the first 5 games of the season, David Legwand finally made an impact in Saturday night’s 6-3 romp over Columbus, scoring the first goal by tipping a Shea Weber shot. There were still some troubling defensive gaffes, but seeing the whole gang chip in to score a six-pack goes a long way to address concerns that Jason Arnott’s absence would leave the...

While Jason Arnott and David Legwand get most of the attention among Nashville centermen, Scott Nichol plays just as important a role in the team’s success.

If a single player could represent the history and growth of an NHL franchise, that player would probably be David Legwand. The first draft pick of the Nashville Predators displays many of the hallmark characteristics of the team; he’s an underrated two-way player, and succeeds more through a consistent, hard-working effort than any eye-popping display of talent. Some look at his 2nd overall draft...

from the Tennessean, Predators center David Legwand and defenseman Ryan Suter returned to practice Wednesday but might not be back in the lineup for tonight's game against Edmonton.

No Shea Weber, no Ryan Suter, and no David Legwand was supposed to mean that the Predators pretty much had no shot last night in Dallas, facing one of the top teams in the Western Conference. Heck, during the first half of the telecast Dallas color man Darryl Reaugh must have mentioned Nashville's offseason personnel purge a dozen times or more, portraying the Preds as a hapless bunch who had only...
