How to Watch, Live Stream Panthers vs. Preds

The Predators are back in Nashville, and they begin a three-game homestand tonight when they host the Florida Panthers at Bridgestone Arena. It's the first of two meetings between the clubs this season; the Preds will be in South Florida two days after Thanksgiving.
Nashville is returning from their first road trip of the season, a three-game stretch that saw them go 1-2-0. The Preds started with a 7-4 loss in Los Angeles, but followed it up with a solid effort in a 5-2 win in Las Vegas.
But the trip concluded with a 5-2 defeat in Arizona on Thursday night, a game the Predators will be eager to avenge tonight. Nashville said they were simply outworked and outplayed by the Coyotes and that they "got what they deserved" in the loss.

Predators winger Filip Forsberg was ruled a game-time decision on Thursday in Arizona and was ultimately ruled out with a lower-body injury. Forsberg is considered day-to-day.

Trenin, Salomaki Recalled:
The Preds
have recalled
forwards Miikka Salomaki and Yakov Trenin from Milwaukee and assigned forward Daniel Carr to the Admirals.
"They were playing well down there, and if you get banged up, it's an opportunity to bring players up," Predators Head Coach Peter Laviolette said of Salomaki and Trenin. "It's an opportunity to reward them, so those guys were both playing really well down there."
Salomaki is no stranger to skating with the Preds, but if Trenin were to play tonight, it would be his NHL debut. Laviolette and his staff were pleased with both players in training camp, and they're excited to have the two forwards back in Nashville.
"Trenin] had a really good camp," Laviolette said. "Both these guys are big, strong, they skate, they're physical, they play a fast north game, and in training camp they were both good. Both went down there and got recognized as their top guys right now, and [Trenin] has four goals in three games. He's playing really well, and we might as well give him a chance."

Last Time Out:
Dante Fabbro and Nick Bonino scored for Nashville in their 5-2 loss at Arizona on Thursday night, while Juuse Saros made 27 stops in net.
Matt Duchene and Ryan Ellis co-lead with team with nine points apiece, followed by Forsberg with eight and Ryan Johansen with seven. Forsberg has five goals on the season; Bonino and Viktor Arvidsson have three goals apiece. Pekka Rinne is 4-0-0 for Nashville with a .908 save percentage in his four starts.
The Opposition:**
The Panthers (2-2-3) fell to the Colorado Avalanche by a 5-4 final in overtime on Friday night in Florida. It's a new look for the Panthers this season with former Blackhawks Head Coach Joel Quenneville behind the bench and goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky now minding the crease.
Jonathan Huberdeau and Mike Hoffman co-lead the club with eight points each, followed by Evgenii Dadanov with four goals and seven points. Hoffman has five goals and Huberdeau has three; Aleksander Barkov has five assists. Bobrovsky is 2-2-2 on the season but played last night against the Avalanche, meaning the Preds could see Samuel Montembeault tonight instead.

Please note the updated Bridgestone Arena bag policy for the Predators' 2019-20 season:

The fastest way to enter Bridgestone Arena is to not bring a bag at all. However, clear, clutch or no bags grant guests access to our Express Lanes. Bags that are made of solid material that fit within the 12-inch-by-12-inch-by-6-inch size requirement will be placed through an X-ray scanner upon entry. Backpacks and large bags are prohibited from Bridgestone Arena. All clear bags must be completely clear and may not have any color tinting, printed designs or panels of fabric. All items brought are subject to a security search. Diaper bags that fit within the guidelines of the approved bags will be permitted.
To enhance the Nashville Predators game day experience, Bridgestone Arena has implemented Ticketmaster SafeTix, a new technology designed to provide the best possible entry experience and cut down on the number of fraudulent tickets in the marketplace. Using encrypted, rotating barcodes, SafeTix prevents fraud and ticket scalping through screenshotting and/or photocopying barcodes. Screenshots will no longer be valid for entry to Predators home games. The Predators also encourage all fans to be aware of the new "Clutch, Clear or No Bag" policy and to utilize Express Entry Lanes for expedited entry.
