The Nashville Predators Welcome The League’s Newest Team
The season’s first game should prove to be an exciting one as the Predators welcome the newest NHL team to Bridgestone Arena, the Seattle Kraken.
Fortunately for the Kraken, they can rely on former Predator Calle Jarnkrok to provide some intel on what to expect. But, unfortunately for them, they will get a quick lesson on what it is like to play in Bridgestone.
Much to the dismay of many fans, Poile did not protect Jarnkrok allowing Seattle to choose him in the expansion draft. The Predators’ loss is Seattle’s gain as Jarnkrok will prove to be a valuable asset for them.
The Predators opening their season at home and against the newest team in the league will be a must-watch for Predators fans everywhere. So it was a good move to put the Kraken on the schedule so early in the season.
