When the Nashville Predators last paid a visit to Anaheim in the springtime, they were accomplishing historical firsts.
One year later, they're back, looking to do what no Preds team has done before.
After defeating the Edmonton Oilers late Wednesday night in Game Seven, the Anaheim Ducks advanced to the Western Conference Final to meet Nashville, the second consecutive season the two have faced each other in the postseason.
It was last April that Nashville defeated Anaheim in seven games, taking three of four at the Honda Center from the home club. The final victory in that series - a 2-1 win in Game Seven - was the first in Predators franchise history.
