The Pittsburgh Penguins and Nashville Predators meet for the first time since their Stanley Cup Finals battle. Here’s how you can watch online via live stream. 

The 2016-17 NHL season saw a heck of an ending with the Stanley Cup Final. It saw the Pittsburgh Penguins defeat the Nashville Predators in six games. For the first time since P.K. Subban and Sidney Crosby created a war over Listerine, the two teams will face each other. Puck drop at PPG Paints Arena is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. ET.

So far, the Penguins are off to a very rough start to their season. While they were able to squeeze a point out of their Opening Night game against the St. Louis Blues, they are coming off an embarrassing 10-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. The Penguins will look to avoid going 0-2-1 to start the season.

The Penguins will look to avoid going 0-2-1 to start the season. Goaltender Matt Murray is expected to get the start. He’ll look to rebound from two disappointing performances. There is some further bad news out of Pittsburgh, as it appears Patric Hornqvist isn’t quite ready to come back yet.

Meanwhile, the Predators are coming off a 4-3 loss against the Boston Bruins. They were nearly able to pull off a last-minute comeback with two late goals, but they dug themselves into too deep a hole. Goaltender Pekka Rinne will be getting the start. It will be an awkward homecoming for center Nick Bonino, who will return to Pittsburgh for the first time since signing with the Predators.
