The DFO Rundown – Ep. 108: Tanner Jeannot = Good Saskatchewan Boy

We got a very exciting interview to kick off the week on The DFO Rundown as we welcomed Nashville Predators rookie sensation Tanner Jeannot to the show. He’s fresh off scoring in the Stadium Series and he talked about the experience of playing in an outdoor game, which is something he considered to be his Welcome to the NHL moment.

He also talked about his path from Oxbow, Saskatchewan to the NHL. He was never drafted and he had to grind to make it to the league and now he’s on pace to set the Nashville Predators rookie goal-scoring record. He also talked about the influence of his parents, having them at the outdoor game, and becoming a father!

Before the interview with Jeannot, they talked about the wild game between the Leafs and Red Wings on Saturday night, Vegas and the status of Robin Lehner and Tyler Yaremchuk joined for ‘Fill in the Blank’!
