Tonight the Nashville Predators took on the Dallas Stars for their first matchup of the 2021-22 season. With no love lost between the Central Division rivals, fans anticipated a physical, high-energy confrontation in Texas.
After a brief rest day in Nashville, the Predators headed to Dallas with a slightly tweaked roster and a need to bounce back after a disappointing overtime loss to the Chicago Blackhawks over the weekend. Matthieu Oliver and Michael McCarron joined the team from Milwaukee, and Olivier reunited with the OG Herd Line of Sissons and Trenin, while early season breakout star Tanner Jeannot joined Ryan Johansen and Philip Tomasino in an intriguing line combination.
