Preds to Appear 10 Times on National NHL Broadcast Schedule

The NHL, along with broadcast partners ESPN and TNT, released their national broadcast schedules for the upcoming season Wednesday and will showcase the Predators in 10 nationally televised games in 2022-23.
The Preds will have two games exclusively televised on TNT, three games on ESPN and another five games on the ESPN+/Hulu streaming service. The first of these nationally televised games will be Nashville's home opener against the Dallas Stars on Oct. 13 at Bridgestone Arena, which will be shown exclusively on ESPN+/Hulu.

The Preds second appearance on ESPN+/Hulu will come two weeks later when they host the St. Louis Blues on Oct. 27. The streaming service will also showcase Nashville's Friday night tilt at the New York Islanders on Dec. 2, as well as two more home games against the Chicago Blackhawks (March 16) and Carolina Hurricanes (April 6).
TNT will exclusively broadcast two Predators road games against the Seattle Kraken on Nov. 8 and the Toronto Maple Leafs on Jan. 11. Additionally, ESPN will air two Tuesday home games against the Los Angeles Kings (Oct. 18) and the Vegas Golden Knights (April 4), as well as a road game at St. Louis on Jan. 19. This trio of contests will mark the Predators first regular-season appearances on ESPN since the network became one of the NHL's national broadcast rights holders prior to the 2021-22 season.
The schedule announcement also included a number of start time changes for national broadcasts, which will affect the following Predators games:
