The Nashville Predators opened up their season in a unique way by playing two games against the San Jose Sharks in Prague, Czech Republic. They came away with two victories, with the first ending by a score of 4-1 and the other being a much closer contest ending 3-2. Now that we’re a few days removed from the contests, there are two players who I’d like to focus on and how their performance should be getting everyone ramped up about the potential outcome.
During these international games, we got to see the kind of lines head coach John Hynes believed would be the most efficient and effective, and we got to watch these players get readjusted to the pace of an NHL game.
