He also added two minutes in penalties. His possession numbers were 51.1 percent Corsi and a relative Corsi of +5.6. Jeannot also added one assist in five Stanley Cup Playoff games, but the Predators lost in the first round to the Carolina Hurricanes. It was a good debut for the undrafted rookie.<\/p>\n<p>Jeannot spent his junior career with the Moose Jaw Warriors in the WHL, finishing with 80 points in 72 games in 2017-18. The Oxbow, Saskatchewan native signed with the Predators following that season and has spent the last four years making his way up the ranks in the ECHL and AHL.<\/p>\n<p>Jeannot has developed into a physical, two-way winger and impressed many during his rookie season. With the Predators looking to rebuild, he is likely to get more playing time over the next two years. For a young player, he is getting the opportunity to prove his worth at the NHL level.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tanner Jeannot Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"AWKlMQbOQ0JG-94gGEiVxA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1233110557\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'AWKlMQbOQ0JG-94gGEiVxA',sig:'Vrgb09o9qd45pH-FDnrmEKB5H5OV53R9nt63dKy6cPM=',w:'594px',h:'401px',items:'1233110557',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>NASHVILLE, TN &#8211; MAY 21: Nashville Predators left wing Tanner Jeannot (84) is shown during Game 3 of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs between the Nashville Predators and Carolina Hurricanes, held on May 21, 2021, at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
