A review of the Predators&#8217; homestands for the rest of the 2022-23 season, reveals not a huge opportunity to reschedule the game. This is even assuming that the damage to the arena is not significant. Given the Predators central location, they tend to travel a lot without long homestands. A couple of stretches in February or March, seem to coincide with Colorado being unavailable and making it tricky to avoid three nights in a row. Hopefully, they will get it figured out before missing any more than a game or two.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means for Nashville and Colorado<\/h3>\n<p>Nashville and Colorado do have a matchup planned for December 23rd in Nashville. However, hosting the game on the 22nd would cause both teams to endure a three-game in three-night scenario, which was unheard of, if not for the COVID scheduling. Teams are off the 24th, 25th, and 26th to honour the holiday season. The team series has been a great matchup in the last five games. Nashville with the three-games-to-two edge, while Colorado has topped them 21 to 20 in goals for. The Predators are currently hot overall, going 6-3-1 in their last 10. Points are becoming important in the race for the Central Division. Colorado is currently second in the division and feeling a bit more comfortable. For Nashville, if this compresses their schedule significantly, it may cause difficulty in a tight playoff stretch run.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NashvilleMWS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@NashvilleMWS<\/a> crews working outside Bridgestone Arena after this morning&#8217;s water main break: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/olBVTbfkto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/olBVTbfkto<\/a> More on this on FOX 17 News at 9pm. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1sonIWRoxc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/1sonIWRoxc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 FoxNashville (@FOXNashville) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FOXNashville\/status\/1596175658362847233?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 25, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This afternoon&#8217;s game between the Nashville Predators hosting the Colorado Avalanche has been postponed.
