FAQs: Tampa Bay Lightning vs Nashville Predators

How can I watch Lightning vs. Predators on Oct. 31?

You can watch Lightning vs. Predators on ESPN+ through NHL Power Play and on the Nashville-area Scripps broadcast, identified as The Spot. The available schedule information does not spell out every viewer’s local access or blackout eligibility, so availability may depend on where you’re watching.

What time does the game start?

Puck drop is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, Oct. 31, which is 1:00 p.m. CT in Nashville. The Predators’ schedule identifies this as an afternoon home game; game times can change, so use those times as the published start time rather than a guarantee.

Where are the Lightning and Predators playing?

The game is at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, with Nashville at home and Tampa Bay on the road. That gives Predators fans the home-ice setting for this afternoon matchup, while Lightning fans will be following their team away from Tampa Bay.

Is this a regular-season game or a playoff matchup?

It is part of the 2026–27 NHL regular season, not a playoff game. Nashville’s schedule places Tampa Bay among its 42 home contests in an 84-game season, so this is one of the Predators’ scheduled home dates rather than a postseason elimination game.

Why is this Nashville home game scheduled in the afternoon?

Nashville’s 2026–27 schedule includes 13 afternoon home games at Bridgestone Arena, and the Oct. 31 visit by Tampa Bay is one of them, set for 1 p.m. local time. It is an earlier start than an evening puck drop, so fans planning to attend or watch should account for the daytime schedule.
