April 9, 2024 – Rallying out of a two-goal deficit in the third period to force overtime against the Winnipeg Jets, the Predators earned the solitary point needed to punch their ticket to the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Though Winnipeg entered Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday with one of the most formidable road records in the NHL, Smashville showed up to protect the house.
Starting with McCarron’s fighting major in the third period – and his ensuing celebration – the home crowd got loud and stayed that way to the very end.
