With the Titans hosting the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL Playoffs this afternoon, followed by the return of Steve Sullivan as the Predators face the Blackhawks at the Sommet Center, today is a big one for sports in Nashville. A few things to keep in mind:
1) Tonight’s game is starting at 7:30 Central, with the doors opening at 5:30 for those wanting to avoid the crowd spilling out of LP Field.
2) Fans coming from the Titans game can present their playoff ticket at the Sommet Center box office for $10 off your Preds ticket purchase tonight, some still remain for walk-ups.
3) There are lots of street closings to accomodate the festivities, and Nashvillest has all the scoop.
According to John Glennon at the Tennessean, Sully will skate on a line with Vern Fiddler and Jordin Tootoo, and play the point on the power play alongside Ville Koistinen. Pencil him in for something like 12 minutes of ice time, then, based on how much 5-on-5 action Fiddler and Tootoo normally get, plus a decent amount of PP work.
As a reminder, this game is NOT on local TV, so don’t plan on catching it at home unless you’ve got Center Ice or GameCenter Live. If you want to get tickets but aren’t able to take advantage of the Titans playoff promotion, you can follow this link for discounted seats, just make sure to use the code word “predators” at checkout.
UPDATE: Here’s a look at one fan’s anticipation for Sully’s return.
