Nashville Predators open up season at home vs. Seattle Kraken
Well, you could’ve have really scripted this out any more dramatic than by welcoming the expansion team Seattle Kraken in to Bridgestone Arena to bring in the new era of Predators hockey.

We’ll already have seen the Kraken take the ice on opening night against the Vegas Golden Knights, and we’ll be welcoming back Calle Jarnkrok as he was not protected and lost in the expansion draft.
If that’s not enough drama to get your intrigued than I don’t know what will. I know fans are pretty upset with the direction of the team right now, but I still expect Bridgestone Arena to be back at full capacity for this game and for it to live back up to its reputation of being one of the toughest arenas to play in for opposing teams.
The Kraken roster has some solid pieces to it, but they don’t scream Stanley Cup contender, either. It will be a lot of fun opening the Predators season against them.
