Nashville Predators history

Craig Leipold landed an NHL expansion team for Nashville in 1997, and the Preds began play in the 1998-99 season. Bridgestone Arena has been their rink from day one. It took five seasons to reach the playoffs, finally getting there in 2003-04. A local ownership group took over from Leipold in 2008.

The best run so far came in 2017, when Nashville made its first Stanley Cup Final and lost to Pittsburgh in six games. The next season brought a Presidents' Trophy for the league's best record plus a Central Division crown. One local point of pride: as of 2026, the Predators and Nashville SC are the only pro teams in Tennessee that never moved from somewhere else, since the Titans came from Houston and the Grizzlies from Vancouver.
