The Nashville Predators open the 2023-24 season on the road at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday in Amalie Arena.
It’s the first season for coach Andrew Brunette and GM Barry Trotz in their positions in Nashville, though Brunette was a player in the Preds’ early days and Trotz was the team’s first coach.
There are some new faces to learn, both veterans and younger players. Ryan O’Reilly and Gus Nyquist are among the veteran additions, while young forwards Luke Evangelista and Juuso Parssinen made the opening night roster after cameos last season.
Nashville missed the postseason last season for the first time since 2014, and the offseason was one of change with Brunette and Trotz taking over for John Hynes and David Poile while high-priced veterans Matt Duchene (via a buyout) and Ryan Johansen (via a trade) went elsewhere.
