Happy New Year, SMASHVILLE!
2024 is upon us, and with it another 12 months of Nashville Predators hockey to look forward to, starting with a home matchup against the Central Division rival Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.
After hitting the ice on New Year’s Day for a quick practice, several Preds players shared their New Year’s resolutions - one for themselves and one for the team.
So, which players are you sharing a resolution with in 2024, and which will come true for SMASHVILLE’s team in the next 12 months?

“Be a good teammate.” - Juuse Saros
