While the Predators will be facing the Kraken in Seattle on Wednesday night, the very best in country music will be throwing their own party in Nashville.
Bridgestone Arena will host the 58th annual CMA Awards Wednesday evening, and while the Preds won’t be able to watch live, there is certainly still plenty of interest on who will take home the night’s biggest honors.
Ahead of the show, some of the team’s country music fans made their predictions on who will walk away with the top prizes, and there are some favorites in the crowd. Do you agree?
Before you watch the Preds finish off their five-game road trip in Seattle on TNT, tune into the CMA Awards at 7 p.m. CT on ABC.
