The Predators pared their roster down and drop two games to a central division rival.
It has been a whirlwind week as the Nashville Predators returned home from Europe and settled into the early grind of the regular season. The trip to Prague was an amazing experience on and off the ice, and the Locked On Predators podcast took time to review the trip.
While the trip and the two wins in Prague at the Global Series were worth celebrating, there was one aspect of the games that had Predators fans concerned - how much time Nashville spent in the penalty box.
Nashville landed back in Middle Tennessee and had to immediately make final roster decisions. One hard decision was placing goaltender Connor Ingram on waivers which eventually meant parting ways with the fan favorite young netminder.
In a move that would have been considered shocking prior to the preseason, Nashville sent one of last season's young stars to Milwaukee to start the season with the Admirals.
The final roster for the Predators contains some highly ranked players this season.
Nashville played their first game of the season at Bridgestone Arena against Central Division rival Dallas Stars and then flew to Texas to play at American Airlines Arena.
The Preds returned to Nashville and will take on the L.A. Kings on Tuesday.
