The Nashville Predators are a professional ice hockey team based in Nashville, Tennessee, and compete in the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). Founded in 1998 as part of the NHL's expansion, the team struggled in its early years, failing to make the playoffs until 2003–04. Despite several early playoff appearances, the team did not advance past the first round until 2010–11.
In 2016–17, the Predators had their best season, advancing to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in franchise history, only to lose to the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games. This marked a turning point for the team, which also won the Presidents' Trophy in the 2017–18 season for having the best regular-season record in the league. The Predators continued to make playoff appearances, including a division title in 2018–19 but faced early exits in most postseason runs.
