A quiet crowd here for pre-game warm-ups; kind of a late arriving crowd into the building for the early start (filling up more as warm-ups move through). But a pretty good showing by Preds fans – a couple pockets of Gold and Blue jerseys in the arena. Reminder: 11 am start time on NBC National Broadcast, with puck drop closer to 11:20 am CT
Nashville sent 20 skaters out for pre-game warm-ups, 13 forwards and seven defensemen:
Forwards: Erat, Legwand, Fisher, Spaling, Yip, Tootoo, Halischuk, Honrqvist, Gaustad, A. Kostitsyn, Radulov, Bourque, S. Kostitsyn
Defensemen: Weber, Klein, Suter, Hillen, Ellis, Bouillon, Josi
Takeaways from pre-game chatter:
- Look for the Preds to ramp up the intensity early in the game; there's been talk in the Preds camp about wanting to hit more and try to initiate the physical contact.
- Fans were given red light sticks on entrance; a pretty cool scene when they dimmed the lights at the end of pregame skate -- check out @predsradio twitter for some pics.
