Not long after the passing of one of the biggest weeks in franchise history, arguably the most important week of the season for the Nashville Predators has arrived, and the span begins tonight with a contest against the Dallas Stars at Bridgestone Arena.

This evening's meeting between the Central Division foes is the fourth and final tilt between the Preds and Stars this season; Nashville has two wins against Dallas thus far, including a 2-1 shootout triumph on Pekka Rinne's retirement night.

The Preds are back from a two-game trip out west, and after a disappointing loss in Seattle last Wednesday, Nashville responded with an 8-0 rout over the Sharks in San Jose on Saturday night, just the second 8-0 victory in Predators franchise history.

Nashville, Tenn. (March 7, 2022) - The Nashville Predators Foundation, along with Preds forward Tanner Jeannot and his wife Keely, will host a Diaper Drive for Mother to Mother on March 8 before the game against the Dallas Stars. Fans are encouraged to drop diapers off at any Bridgestone Arena entrance prior to the 7 p.m. puck drop or purchase from the Amazon wish list by clicking here.

Mother to Mother, a Nashville-based non-profit organization, works to ensure that impoverished children in the community have access to basic essential items.

Michael McCarron, Matt Luff and Matt Duchene each scored twice as the Nashville Predators routed the San Jose Sharks by an 8-0 final on Saturday night at SAP Center. The result ties a Preds franchise record for the largest margin of victory in a single game with a bounce-back win to conclude their two-game trip.

Yakov Trenin and Mikael Granlund also tallied for the Predators and the fourth line of McCarron (2g-2a), Luff (2g-1a) and Philip Tomasino (3a) combined for 10 points on the night. Preds Captain Roman Josi recorded four assists for the second time in his career, while goaltender Juuse Saros stopped all 20 shots he faced to record his third shutout of the campaign.

After falling in Seattle on Wednesday night, the Nashville Predators are looking to bounce back against the San Jose Sharks this evening to finish off their two-game trip. Tonight's contest is the second of three matchups between the Preds and Sharks; the Preds are 1-0-0 thus far this season with a 3-1 victory versus San Jose on Oct. 26 at Bridgestone Arena.

The Preds practiced on Friday in San Jose, and after cleaning up some details from Wednesday's loss, the group is looking forward to getting back to their identity this evening against the Sharks.

Nashville's top prospects are playing all over the world and perfecting their craft with the hope of one day skating for the Predators. Here's a look at how they're faring this season with their respective clubs, organizations and schools thus far. Here's the Preds Prospect Report for March 3, 2022.

Nashville Predators alumni Jordin Tootoo and Dan Hamhuis had plenty to reflect on after returning to Smashville to be a part of one of the greatest weeks in franchise history - Pekka Rinne's jersey retirement game as well as the 2022 NHL Stadium Series.

Tootoo was the first Inuk player to ever skate in the League and made his debut in the 2003-04 season. One of the most popular players in franchise history, Tootoo had nothing but great memories to look back upon when reflecting on his time in Nashville and playing with Rinne.

Nashville, Tenn. (March 4, 2022) - The Nashville Predators organization announced today that they will host the Ford Military Salute week beginning on March 8 as the Preds face the Stars at Bridgestone Arena. The annual weeklong initiative will feature military elements activated on the plaza, on the concourse, throughout the in-game presentation each night and on social media @PredsNHL all week.

Prior to all three games, fans can interact with every branch of the U.S. Military on the Bridgestone Arena Plaza. From viewing military vehicles and participating in fitness challenges to enjoying the music of the Fort Campbell band, there will be plenty of activities for fans of all ages. Those in attendance will also have the opportunity to thank current military members and veterans for their service to our country. The Preds will host a pregame reception on March 8 to celebrate military members and thank sponsors for their support. Select Predators players will Zoom with an honored military member prior to each game, as they have throughout the entire 2021-22 season.

Take a look back at the top social moments from Pekka Rinne's jersey retirement ceremony and the 2022 NHL Stadium Series.

Matt Duchene scored twice, but the Nashville Predators fell to the Seattle Kraken by a 4-3 final on Wednesday night at Climate Pledge Arena. The result gives the Preds a pair of losses in three meetings with Seattle to finish the season series as Nashville begins a two-game trip.

Philip Tomasino also tallied for the Preds, and Roman Josi recorded his 500th career point, but in a game that saw the visitors own a 2-0 lead, the end result was less than satisfactory.
