Seven back-to-backs on the road

One thing that really stands out on the schedule is the road back-to-backs. There’s seven of them, and this could end up being a good thing or bad thing. Sometimes it’s good for teams to get away from the noise at home and focus more on the road.


The Predators’ first two road games of the season will be back-to-back affairs against Winnipeg and Minnesota. Two difficult opponents with loud home crowds.

Other road back-to-backs will be Calgary/Edmonton, Dallas/St. Louis, and Colorado/Arizona to close out the 2021-22 regular season. If they end up being another fringe playoff team, then it might two take gutsy road wins to do it.

Despite the expectations being rather grim for this Predators team, I’m still incredibly excited to see an 82-game schedule again and new opponents that we didn’t see last year.

Free agency is going to change the outlook of how good or bad this team could end up being, but as of now just be excited to see 82 games again and to see a youthful roster. New stars can be born.
