It’s almost that time for some playoff hockey as the Nashville Predators‘ first round schedule against the Carolina Hurricanes has finally been released.

The Predators will open up their series on Monday in Carolina, and we’re already getting into some bold predictions for this series. We know it’s going to take a near perfect series from the Predators to pull off the upset.

The last time the Predators were in a traditional seven-game playoff series was 2019 against the Dallas Stars, which ended in six games and sent us packing way earlier than we expected. This time around the Predators have the underdog mentality, and I’m just fine with that.

Let’s dish out some bold predictions for how this series is going to unfold from individual play performances and some other key statistical categories.
