The Nashville Predators begin their 2025-26 NHL season this evening when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Opening Night at Bridgestone Arena. The 7 p.m. CT puck drop is preceded by the annual Opening Night Plaza Party and Player Gold Walk, which begins at 3:30 p.m. CT on the Arena plaza.
The pregame festivities will lead into a fresh campaign for the Preds – a team that is eager to make amends for an underwhelming previous season and prove they’re capable of so much more.
