The Nashville Predators played their first home preseason game against the Tampa Bay Lightning last night. The Predators lost 2-1 in overtime, and there was both rust and chemistry on a Predators team comprised of mostly veterans. Roman Josi and Filip Forsberg returned to the ice after missing the end of last season due to injuries. Andrew Brunette talked about what he saw from the two veterans in their first preseason outing. Ryan O'Reilly and Filip Forsberg played on the top line together, and the duo showed glimpses of future potential. We hear from Ryan O'Reilly about their growing chemistry and what he believes will improve with time. We discuss whether it is roster changes or a new system that may impact how quickly the Predators can get back into postseason contention. Finally, we take a look at Yaroslav Askarov's preseason so far. We hear from the Russian goaltender on a full circle moment and talk about what his future with the Predators may look like.
