As all of Nashville continues to mourn those lost lives from Monday's tragedy at the Covenant School, the Nashville Predators stand with the community in search of the love and hope that is needed to move forward.

Before Saturday's 12 p.m. puck drop against the St. Louis Blues, the Predators will offer a moment of silence for prayer and/or reflection. Coaches and broadcasters from both teams will wear red and white lapel pins, and fans attending the game are encouraged to wear red and white, the Covenant School colors.
The Preds pledge to honor and appreciate the first responders, teachers and school administrators and to do everything they can as an organization to help the Covenant family heal from this unspeakable tragedy. Preds players, staff and management strongly encourage fans to join them in this pledge through any or all of the following avenues:
