On Sunday afternoon, the <a href='https://www.nhl.com/predators/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Nashville Predators</a> announced the cancellation of Monday night's preseason game against the <a href='https://www.nhl.com/lightning/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Tampa Bay Lightning</a>. Puck drop was set for 7PM at Amalie Arena in Florida but the game has been postponed due to the dangerous Hurricane Milton developing around Tampa Bay, with no word yet on whether it will be rescheduled. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/predsnhl/status/1843008428371009618'> </a></blockquote></div> While it's a bummer for fans looking forward to the matchup, it's understandable given the circumstances.

On the bright side, Predators fans were <a href='https://x.com/predsnhl/status/1843024784134992286?s=46&t=yPo8xhaBTcZP7mkzEJs97A' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>treated to Predfest</a> on Sunday, where they met the team they'll be cheering for this upcoming season. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/predsnhl/status/1843034807716217028'> </a></blockquote></div> However, in times like these, everyone's well-being has to come first. While we all hope the storm passes quickly, there's no doubt this was the right move by the Predators, the Lightning, and the NHL. Some things are bigger than hockey.
