Me looking for Preds news:
I guess there’s this:
The NHL has announced a pair of minor schedule changes for the #Preds:
— Brooks Bratten (@brooksbratten) September 8, 2021
- Edmonton, originally set to play in Nashville on April 14, now visits April 12.
-San Jose, originally set to play in Nashville on April 12, will now visit on April 14.
Both games remain 7 p.m. CT starts. https://t.co/rcuW0rDBqr
