Andrew Brunette has recently been away from the struggling Predators, and now he's explained his absence from the team via an official statement.
The Nashville Predators were arguably the NHL's biggest disappointment this year, and after being major buyers in the off-season, they're left with a frustrated, disappointed core of veterans.
Late in the season they've looked for any type of momentum that could carry over to next season, but unfortunately that hasn't happened, especially with the absence of Head Coach Andrew Brunette.
On the Predators social media, the talented coach would reveal exactly why he's been away from the team in recent times, revealing a personal matter is the cause.
"My father experienced an event that required urgent medical attention back home in Ontario, which is the reason why I was away from the team for the past few days. I'm happy to be back with our group beginning today in Utah. I'd like to thank our ownership and Barry Trotz for allowing me to spend this time with my family, and thank our entire coaching staff for their help in guiding our team in my absence. My family and I sincerely appreciate the support from everyone in our organization, our players and our fans."
Brunette revealed that it was an urgent medical situation in Ontario that caused him to leave the team, and after that he thanked the fan base for their incredible support during what must have been a very tough time.
It's been only two games that Brunette has been away from the team, but it looks like he's on the way back, and while it's been a frustrating year, with a good summer ahead, Brunette and the team could make some major moves that lead to a bounce-back in 2025/26 if things are done right.
