Predators Announce 2022-23 Season Schedule; Home Opener Set for Oct. 13

Nashville, Tenn. (July 6, 2022) - The Nashville Predators will begin their 25th NHL season presented by Fifth Third Bank by participating in the 2022 NHL Global Series™ in Prague, Czech Republic, taking on the San Jose Sharks at the O2 Arena on Oct. 7-8.

November features 14 contests with eight scheduled at Bridgestone Arena, the most home games in a single month on the 2022-23 docket. The month begins with the Predators taking a five-game road swing - the second-longest of the season - with stops in Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle before the trip ends with a Nov. 10 showdown against the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche. Then, the schedule shifts back to Tennessee as the Preds will play eight of the final nine games in November at Bridgestone Arena, starting with a season-long five-game homestand from Nov. 12-21. Nashville will take on the New York Rangers, Minnesota, New York Islanders, Tampa Bay and Arizona during the homestand, its longest in a traditional schedule since 2019-20. A trip to Detroit on Nov. 23 precedes three more November home games, including the first of 11 scheduled back-to-backs coming Nov. 25-26 against Colorado and Columbus; the month concludes Nov. 29 vs. Anaheim.
December also will see the Predators play 14 games, six of which will be in the form of back-to-backs, beginning with contests at New Jersey and the New York Islanders on Dec. 1-2. Nashville will then travel to Tampa Bay (Dec. 8) - Ryan McDonagh's first game back in the city where he won two Stanley Cups - before hosting Ottawa at 12:30 p.m. CT on Dec. 10, the first afternoon game of the Preds' season. The Predators conclude the month with a smattering of home and road games, featuring a road-home back-to-back (Dec. 12 at St. Louis and Dec. 13 vs. Edmonton); home contests against Edmonton (Dec. 19), Colorado (Dec. 23) and Dallas (Dec. 27); and road tilts with Winnipeg (Dec. 15), Colorado (Dec. 17) and Chicago (Dec. 21).
After closing out 2022 with a back-to-back at Anaheim and Vegas on Dec. 30-31, Nashville rings in 2023 by taking on Montreal at home on Jan. 3 before embarking on another five-game road trip from Jan. 5-12 with games against Carolina, Washington, Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal. Following the road-heavy start to January, the Predators will play five of their next six games on home ice, taking on Buffalo, Calgary, Los Angeles, Winnipeg and New Jersey from Jan. 14-26 with a road trip to St. Louis scheduled on Jan. 19.
The Predators will play 10 times in February, including a stretch of just four games in 10 days to begin the month, with contests against Vegas (Feb. 7), at Philadelphia (Feb. 11), Arizona (Feb. 13) and Boston (Feb. 16). A relatively light travel month, Nashville will play its first of two home-road back-to-backs on Feb. 18-19 - home vs. Florida and on the road at Minnesota - before rounding out February with two games at Bridgestone Arena on Feb. 21 vs. Vancouver and Feb. 28 vs. Pittsburgh and contests at San Jose (Feb. 23) and at Arizona (Feb. 26).
March is both the busiest month overall and on the road for the Predators in 2022-23, featuring 16 games total and 10 away from home. The month begins with a season-long six-game road trip from March 2-12 that spans 11 days and will see the team go coast-to-coast, with contests against Florida, Chicago, Vancouver, Arizona, Los Angeles and Anaheim. After completing its final trip out west, Nashville returns home for three games against Detroit, Chicago and Winnipeg from March 14-18 and heads back out on the road at the New York Rangers (March 19) and Buffalo (March 21). Another stretch of three straight home contests, featuring two consecutive tilts against Seattle, awaits from March 23-26; the Predators close out March with road games against Boston (March 28) and Pittsburgh (March 30).
Nashville will take on a Central Division opponent in four of their final seven games of the regular season, starting with a noon contest against St. Louis on April 1. Following a road-home back-to-back on April 3-4 (at Dallas and vs. Vegas), the Predators host Carolina on April 6 and play their final two games away from home on April 8 at Winnipeg and April 10 at Calgary. Nashville concludes the 2022-23 regular season at home on April 13 against Minnesota.

The 2022-23 schedule includes 12 Saturday home dates, featuring visits from the Flyers, Capitals, Rangers, Lightning, Blue Jackets, Senators, Panthers, Jets, Kraken and Blues. The Predators will play every Central Division club four times, with the exception of the Blackhawks and Wild, who the team will see three times.
All regionally available games will be televised on Bally Sports South and the Bally Sports app. A full broadcast schedule will be announced at a later date.
