Health and safety of players and staff has always been paramount for the Predators, and that mantra has taken on a whole new meaning during the 2020-21 NHL season.

Even on off days, Predators players, coaches and hockey operations staff are tested in the morning, and when they're at the rink, mask wearing and hand sanitizing are just the start of the precautions, but the changes are already becoming second nature for those on the inside.
