The Blackhawks have a quick turnaround from Friday’s loss at home to Washington, as they’re in Nashville on Saturday night to face the Predators.
It’s the second between meeting between these two teams this season, with Nashville taking two points in the first one with a 4-3 victory at the United Center over Thanksgiving weekend. That win was right around the time that the Predators turned things around from a woeful 6-12-4 start. In the five or six weeks since, Nashville is 14-7-0, surgi...

The Hawks had to bring Stanislav Berezhnoy on the trip, so the options in net are two guys who started last night… and both of whom should be in the AHL right now. If Blackhawks head coach didn’t know what he was going to do in net after last night’s game doesn’t give you pause going into this one, the fact that half of the roster is sick and they played last night is a recipe for potentially bad times ahead in Nashville.
But you know what? Connor Bedard is back and Oliver Moore is playin...

After picking up their first win in 2026 on Tuesday over the Predators, the Edmonton Oilers were back on the road for a single stop in Winnipeg for a rematch against the struggling Jets. And while it didn’t start out well for our beloved Oilers, you have to give the boys credit for how they…

The New York Islanders followed up their gate-busting nine-goal romp over New Jersey with one measly goal against the Predators, falling 2-1 via shootout in Nashville. The outcome gives them a valuable point and keeps them in second place in the Metro (for now) as they begin their seven-game road trip, though they’ll feel it […]

The hangover (hopefully not) from the Islanders’ raucous and absurd 9-0 romp over the New Jersey Devils Tuesday has hopefully subsided as they begin the first stop in a season-longest seven-game road trip tonight in Nashville. They’ll presumably continue without Bo Horvat in the lineup, though he is skating and on the road trip with […]

The Nashville Predators are an interesting team to watch on the trade market, as they've been involved in some blockbuster talks around Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault, meanwhile, there's also pending free-agent forward Michael Bunting, who is a prime trade candidate to be moved this season. Bunting's signed for $4.5 million this season and doesn't hold any trade protection on his contract. The pesky winger has scored 11 goals and 25 points in 42 games, averaging 14:50 of ice-time per...

One of the longest-standing members of the Edmonton Oilers has reached a significant milestone. On Tuesday night, in a game against the Nashville Predators, Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins registered the 500th assist of his NHL career, becoming just the sixth player to reach the mark as a member of the franchise.

The Edmonton Oilers haven’t exactly played their best hockey since coming back from the Christmas break, and I was hopeful that the visiting Nashville Predators could be just what the doctor ordered.

The Nashville Predators are lurking. If you don’t look at the NHL standings too often, walking into this Edmonton Oilers and Predators matchup, you’d think – finally, a soft spot in the schedule.

Despite the team's recent success, reports have surfaced stating the Nashville Predators are still open for business, and are willing to part ways with veterans Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault. Both players signed a couple of summers ago in Nashville, and frankly, the team has underperformed, and GM Barry Trotz is open to getting creative to make changes. Both Stamkos and Marchessault have full no-move clauses and have to approve their next team. The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta was...
