What's the best way to get into the holiday spirit? A friendly wager, of course.
During the second week of December, Nashville Predators Captain Roman Josi approached his head coach with a proposition. He'd seen a few other NHL teams wear themed attire to games during the month and he wanted in on the fun.
Head Coach Peter Laviolette said he'd think about it.
Josi offered an on-ice bet: If the Predators claimed five out of six points on their upcoming three-game road trip to Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary, the Preds would be allowed to wear holiday suits to their final road game before the Christmas Break in Dallas.
