The Nashville Predators will be represented on the stage in Las Vegas as Pekka Rinne and Peter Laviolette hope to take home some hardware. Rinne is hoping to take home his first Vezina trophy in three tries, while Laviolette has been nominated to a tough Jack Adams ballot.
Though a few Nashville fan favorite were conspicuously absent when the nominees were announced, (and they were dominating the polls halfway through) it’s still a testament to the Preds’ season to have multiple people from the organization nominated.
Below is your award show primer of when and how to watch and a breakdown of all the finalsts up for trophies.
