The 2016–17 Nashville Predators season is the 19th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997.[1]

Regular season

October

The Predators opened their season on October 14 with three power play goals in a 3–2 victory over the Blackhawks.[2] Newly acquired defenseman P. K. Subban scored the first goal for the Predators in his debut for the team.[3] The next night on the road, the Predators fell in a three-goal hole after 10 minutes into the first period and scored three to pull within one in the third period, but a hat trick goal by Richard Pánik with 91 seconds remaining secured a 5–3 victory for the Blackhawks.[4]

Back home in Nashville on October 18, the Predators tied the game in the second period with a power play goal from captain Mike Fisher.[5] But it wasn't enough to overcome goals from Adam Cracknell and Jason Spezza, and the Predators fell 2–1 to the Stars.[6] On October 21, the Predators traveled to Detroit and Subban, Mike Ribeiro and Fisher scored to extend the Predators NHL-leading eight power play goals to that date.[7] With 22 seconds remaining, however, Darren Helm scored an empty net goal to secure a 5–3 victory for the Red Wings and hand the Predators their third straight loss.[8] They returned home the next day to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins despite multiple illnesses, involving starting goaltender Pekka Rinne and captain Mike Fisher – Juuse Saros made his first start of the season.[9]

In the first of a five-game road trip on October 26, the Predators – suffering a second period collapse of surrendering five goals, including two shorthanded goals for only the fourth time in franchise history – fell 6–1 to the Ducks.[10] The next night at the Staples Center, the Predators scored on a shorthanded goal by Viktor Arvidsson one minute into the third period to jump to a 2–1 lead.[11] Tyler Toffoli of the Kings responded 41 seconds later to tie the game, however, send it into overtime where Jeff Carter shot past Rinne with 29 seconds remaining in overtime and the Predators fell 3–2.[12] The Predators capped their month of play on October 29 with a 4–1 loss to the Sharks.[13]

November

Starting off the month of November, the Predators killed all four of Colorado's power play opportunities and scored five goals, two from Craig Smith, to beat the Avalanche 5–1 and end a three-game losing skid.[14] The Predators ended their five-game road trip in Glendale, Arizona with a 3–2 shootout loss to the Coyotes.[15] Back home in Nashville on November 5, the Predators and the Hurricanes played through an even matchup, with goals from James Neal and Matt Irwin, that went to shootout where Jaccob Slavin made the winning goal past Rinne and the Hurricanes beat the Predators 3–2.[16]

In their next game on November 8, the Predators returned to winning form putting up three goals by Ryan Ellis, Neal and Subban in a 3–1 victory over the Senators.[17] Against division rival St. Louis, the Predators scored three goals in the span of six and a half minutes between the second and third period – two by Calle Järnkrok and one by Neal – to beat the Blues 3–1.[18] In the final game of the four-game home-stand on November 12, the Predators put on a shutout with goals from Ellis, Neal, Filip Forsberg and Roman Josi, and 27 saves by Rinne in a 5–0 victory over the Ducks.[19]

On the road for the first of several swings through Canada this season on November 15, Arvidsson and Neal put two goals on the board for the Predators, but Marek Mazanec – starting in place of Rinne, who sat out with a lower back injury – allowed six goals on 32 shots, including a hat trick James van Riemsdyk, and the Predators lost 6–2 to the Maple Leafs.[20] Two nights later in Ottawa, the Predators rebounded from their first regulation loss of the month with a 5–1 victory over the Senators.[21] Neal scored in his sixth straight game during the contest, setting both a career-high and tying the franchise record for longest goal streak.[22] Concluding their road swing in St. Louis, the Predators only mustered one goal from Ribeiro in a 3–1 loss to the Blues.[23]

Back in Nashville on November 21, the Predators made easy work of Tampa Bay with a goal from Arvidsson and two goals from Subban in a 3–1 victory over the Lightning.[24] Facing off against Dallas two nights later, the Predators – led by goals from Fisher, Forsberg, Ryan Johansen, Neal and Smith – held the Stars to two goals in a 5–2 victory.[25] On November 25, Winnipeg got on the board early with a first period goal from Dustin Byfuglien, but the Predators responded with five unanswered goals – three in the second period alone – with two each from Johansen and Colin Wilson, and one from Neal in a 5–1 victory over the Jets.[26] In a rematch up in Winnipeg two days later, the Predators were shut out for the first time this season in a 3–0 loss to the Jets.[27]

The Predators bookended the month of November in Denver with goals from Arvidsson (who's second period goal seven seconds in tied the franchise record for fastest opening goal in a regulation period), Kevin Fiala, Fisher, Johansen and Austin Watson in a 5–3 victory over the Avalanche.[28]

December

Facing off against New Jersey on December 3, the Predators, thanks to goals from Fiala (with two), Josi and Subban, carried a 4–1 lead into the third period.[29] But the Devils responded in the third period with three goals from Michael Cammalleri, Andy Greene and Adam Henrique to tie up the score and send the game into overtime.[30] Cammalleri scored with 18 seconds remaining in overtime to hand the Predators a 5–4 loss.[31]

Notes
Buffalo previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on February 29, 2016 that sent Jamie McGinn to Anaheim in exchange for this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).[55] The condition – Buffalo will receive a third-round pick in 2016 if Anaheim does not qualify for the 2016 Western Conference Final[56] – was converted on April 27, 2016 when Anaheim was eliminated from the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs.
Anaheim previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on June 26, 2015 that sent Kyle Palmieri to New Jersey in exchange for Florida's second-round pick in 2015 and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).[57] The condition – Anaheim will receive the higher of either Florida or Minnesota's third-round pick in 2016.[58] – was converted on April 24, 2016 when Minnesota was eliminated from the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs ensuring that the Wild's pick would be higher than Florida's.
New Jersey previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on February 26, 2015 that sent Jaromir Jagr to Florida in exchange for a second-round pick in 2015 and this pick.[59]
Florida previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on February 24, 2015 that sent Sean Bergenheim and a seventh-round pick in 2016 to Minnesota in exchange for this pick.[60]
