It is FINALLY here! The 2022-2023 regular season begins today for the Nashville Predators as they take on the San Jose Sharks in the Global Series in Prague. On today's Locked On Predators, we have your game day preview. Today's line up for the Preds doesn't look exactly like fans imagined it would before training camp started. We'll discuss the glaring absence of Phil Tomasino from today's roster and debate the root cause of the healthy scratch. Do we think Tomasino will see the same amount of game time this season as he did last season? We also bring listeners up to speed on one small defensive change and tell you why we think Hynes made the substitution he did for today's. The San Jose Sharks aren't expected to light it up in the league this season, but they aren't a team to be overlooked either. We'll take a quick look at their roster and tell you how we think the Predators can handle their opponent in this high emotion game. Finally, Nick and Ann share their keys to the game. What players are worth watching closely in this opening season game? What is the one area Nashville MUST improve out of the gate? And who could be the special teams surprise? We'll have you ready for puck drop on today's Locked On Predators.
