The fourth NHL team of Steve Sullivan’s career was the Nashville Predators, a team he joined during his ninth year (2003-04).  Sullivan finished that year strong, scoring 30 Points in 24 Games, with 73 in total that year, a number that would be his second best ever.

Following the lockout year (2004-05), Sullivan had two more 60 Point years, the latter of which was cut short due to a severe back injury that was so bad, he missed the entire 2007-08 Season.  Sullivan returned in 2008-09, netting 51 Points in a comeback year that secured him the Bill Masterton Award.  He played one more year with the Predators before he signed with Pittsburgh.

As a Predator, Sullivan had 263 Points in 317 Games.

Undersized at 5’ 7”, Steve Sullivan used every pound he had in his small frame to make a productive career in pro hockey.  Sullivan was a crafty playmaker who secured seven 60 Point seasons in a career that spanned 1,011 Games.  Sullivan had his highest point totals with Chicago but it was in Nashville where he made history as the first player in franchise history to win a major award when he won the Bill Masterton Trophy in the 2008-09 season.
