Nashville Predators Roster Transactions 10/30

The Nashville Predators saw their three-game win streak snapped on Monday night in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Predators had started 0-5-0 before winning three straight and outscoring their opponents 11-5 in that stretch before that loss on Monday. Monday’s game featured a lot of emotions as it was the return of Steven Stamkos to where he spent the first 16 seasons of his career, and the tribute video had him in tears, he would finish the game with two points as he recorded an assist on each Nashville goal which were scored by Gustav Nyquist and Ryan O’Reilly. The Predators will return to the ice tomorrow night against the Edmonton Oilers they lost to on October 17th, 4-2. Today, the Predators announced that they have recalled defenseman Marc Del Gaizo from the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL. In three games with Nashville this season he hadn’t recorded a point but was a plus one, with the Admirals in two games he was pointless and was a plus one.
