It's about as close as it gets without the pressure of two points on the line.
The Predators held a Blue & Gold scrimmage on Sunday afternoon at Ford Ice Center, a training camp tradition for Head Coach Peter Laviolette and his staff. It's the first chance of camp for the bosses to see their players - the majority of which were prospects and minor-leaguers, with some NHLers sprinkled in - in a game situation.
Eeli Tolvanen, Frederick Gaudreau, Joonas Lyytinen, Filip Pyrochta and Pavel Koltigyn (two goals) all found the back of the net on the day, a perfect way to impress those watching from above.
