5 – Vegas Golden Knights (Friday, December 8th)

The Vegas Golden Knights will make their first ever visit to Nashville on Friday, December 8^th. This game brings in excitement itself just because Vegas is a brand new team. It is always an exciting moment when fans get to witness a first. However, due to the expansion draft this game will have a bit more significance to it.

The Predators were forced to make a difficult decision at the expansion draft when they chose to protect Calle Järnkrok over James Neal. David Poile was unable to make a deal with George McPhee and thus, the Golden Knights selected Neal to their club. Neal’s time in Nashville was cherished and the fans will be excited to welcome him back in December.
