Regular Season Finals
Wild vs. Preds: Thursday, April 13 at 7pm CT
If there’s nothing better than opening night in Smashville, the Predators home finals are no different. This year, Nashville will wrap up both its home program and regular season in front of home crowds when it hosts Central Division rivals the Minnesota Wild. While there’s no way to know right now just how crucial this game will be to the Predators’ postseason chances, a solid finish and full performance from the fans certainly never hurts.
New rivalries
Lightning vs. Preds: Saturday, November 19 at 1:00 PM CT
When the Tampa Bay Lightning last came to town, they were greeted by more than 60,000 of Smashville’s loudest fans outdoors at Nissan Stadium. While that game didn’t go down the path of the Predators, it did set the stage for a budding rivalry between two of the South’s top hockey clubs — made even more interesting this year by Nashville’s offseason acquisition of the former Tampa defenseman Ryan McDonagh.
Avalanche vs. Preds: Friday, November 25 at 1:00 PM CT
It’s no secret that the postseason in Nashville didn’t go quite how anyone would have wished, and it’s safe to assume the Predators will be looking for some serious revenge when Stanley Cup winner Colorado Avalanche comes out on Friday, June 20th November 25, returning to town.
Flames vs. Preds: Monday, January 16 at 7pm CT
Some of the most exciting hockey games in franchise history took place at Bridgestone Arena last spring when the Predators faced the Calgary Flames twice in less than 10 days – in what many anticipated as a preview of the postseason. What followed was six thirds, two overtimes and a penalty shootout full of big hits, heated battles and plenty of goals. Smashville definitely won’t want to miss the follow-up when the Flames return to Bridgestone on Monday, January 16.
