JosivTony-2568x1444

The showdown we never knew we needed - until now - has arrived.
Predators Captain Roman Josi is taking on Winnipeg Jets defenseman and former Preds blueliner Anthony Bitetto in a best-of-seven series on EA Sports' NHL 20. We call it Josi vs. Tony. Twitch will carry a live video stream of the former teammates verbally sparring as they also face off virtually in NHL20.
On Tuesday, Josi took Game 1, 4-3, behind a four-point performance from Ryan Johansen. Bitetto stole Game 2 on the road, however, with a 5-0 triumph.

Preds to Simulate Stanley Cup Playoffs with NHL20:
April brings the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and even this year, the Nashville Predators will maintain that tradition with the help of EA Sports' NHL20.
Point percentage was used to determine the final standings and set the 16-team playoff bracket. As the Western Conference's first Wild Card, Nashville will challenge the Vegas Golden Knights, the winner of the Pacific Division. NHL20 will be used to simulate each playoff game, with Preds games streamed live on @Preds Twitter, Twitch, Facebook and YouTube.
Here's a look at the Predators' Round 1 playoff schedule, with Games 1, 2, 5 and 7* taking place in Las Vegas and Games 3, 4, 6* in Nashville (*if necessary).
