Nashville Predators: Must-Watch Games Early In The 2021-22 Season
By Rich Howe
A Chance For Redemption
We all remember when the final horn sounded last season, and the Predators’ unlikely playoff appearance came to an end. It was a hard-fought battle with the Carolina Hurricanes, and the second game of the season could provide Nashville with an opportunity for some revenge.
Once the series ended, the Hurricanes’ social media team used the opportunity to poke some fun at the Predators. And while Carolina didn’t fair very well in the second round, losing four games to one against Tampa Bay, Predators fans will be ready to make life difficult for the Hurricanes once they step foot in Bridgestone Arena.
Both teams have gone through some changes this offseason. Carolina has lost star defenseman Dougie Hamilton as well as phenom goaltender Alex Nedlejkovic. In fact, Carolina has an all-new goaltending roster after losing Petr Mrazek and James Reimer in the offseason as well.
Even though both teams’ rosters have changed and now look a little different on paper, you can bet that this will be an exciting game and one that the Predators are probably looking forward to.
