Outdoor Hockey Coming to Music City

It’s been a long time coming, but the Nashville Predators will finally get to host an outdoor game this season as they’ll face the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning at Nissan Stadium on February 26.

February will be a light month for everyone because of the 2022 Winter Olympics, so this will be just the second game back for the Predators from the Olympic break. Hopefully they’re not already buried in the standing by this time.

Nashville has never failed at throwing a party for a massive event such as the NHL All-Star Game, and of course the NFL Draft. I’m fully confident that the Predators and the city of Nashville will rock this out of the park as another very successful NHL event.

This game will obviously be nationally televised on TNT, and their should be plenty of eyeballs on this game playing a team like the Lightning. Let’s just hope the Predators are up to the challenge.

It’s only a matter of time until the NHL eventually awards Nashville with a Winter Classic, but this event needs to be a successful one first.
