NHL Preseason Highlights | Predators vs. Lightning – September 27, 2025

for the PRs. And away we go. The Lightning will have three more preseason games after this, all against the Florida Panthers. Tonight’s starting line are sponsored by Advent Health. And right away, the Lightning go to work in the Nashville zone. There is Gore trying to spin away from the check. Put that puck into the corner. Long shot on the way. S the first save. And the rebound was almost right there for Chaffy. Here’s Croer. His drive tipped wide and it’s picked up by Pervix and he gets the outlet pass away and up the ice come the prince. Michael Bunting with a shot. Brandon Halverson makes his first stop. No, that’s for sure. And it made a lot of sense with Stammer and Marilo going there because they always have trouble scoring goals, but it didn’t work. Out in front that was Hegel with a shot. He displayed that immediately, didn’t he? Yeah. And he’s got a swagger about him too that he he handles himself like a goal scorer. Lighting with the puck again. Long shot. Sorrows made the save. Rebound right there for Finley. Smiles for guys that he played with for a couple of years in Nashville, of course. Back with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Here’s the Lightning getting puck to the net. Ser couldn’t couldn’t quite find it. Make sure it gets into the corner to Hegel. Here’s Marshall. He’s going to drop this one back. Long shot taken there by Jordan Osterly. And they’ll let him come back up the ice. James, he can scoot. Got up there. following up as Salin got in tight. Rebound Radish shoots, scores. [Music] Darren Radish finishes after a good rush up the ice again by James. One- nothing Lightning. Yeah, Lightning had everybody up on the play there. Darren Rder scores that from Well, but it was James that started it again. Just keep an eye on Dominic James, number 17, because every time he gets the puck, he goes full throttle all the time. But Radish will get the puck. There he is almost at the dot. And that’s a precision shot. Nice and calm here. He’s in good position. Nashville’s struggling to get back into position. Here a bit of a shelf as good work here by this fourth line. Back to the point. Shack with a drive that goes off the mask I believe of Sorrowos and then off the glass. This kind of attitude about things away from the ice but not on the ice. Good feet up ahead. Shot on the way and Sorrowos makes that stop. Dadville works the puck into the corner. Marsha So is over there. And there is Croer digging it free. Hegel does the rest. This one does not get out. Held in. Snap shot. Blocker down by Halverson. Sent back to the line. Wilsby quickly across. Here comes Roman Yosi all the way up the ice and he couldn’t get a good shot away. Following up is Wilsby. Now he’s got a lane. He gets in tight and that big body just holds the line. He’s dancing around the top and he’ll drop this one off for Willsby who gives it up. There’s a shot into traffic and Albertson has lost his mask and that is in comes Sabvern and the power play is over. Wilsby steps out of the box. Under two minutes to play back to the line. Mcdana with a back in the other direction. Fors for a great pass up the ice. Nashville’s in. Shot right on from Marsha. So a good stop made by Brandon Albertson. Yeah, John. Some power play time to work with. A minute four remaining in the tripping call against Ryan O’Reilly. And here we go. Here is Radish. Radish tied his careerhigh in goals and the careerhigh in points can really shoot. Lenning set it up one more time and that pass is broken up by McCarron. There’s a drive and Sorrows had to make a long range stop. A long time has been considered one of the really high-end faceoff winners in the NHL. Not so much tonight. He’s a Selki Trophy winner in 2019. Geeki. They throw it back and forth. Geeki back up the top. The shot on the way and Sorrowos has got it. And there’s no rebound after that long snap shot from letting get the puck back after the faceoff lo. So good work there. Now here’s Chaffy to the net. Out scores. Beautiful hands from Mitchell Chaffy. Power play goal. Two nothing Tampa Bay. [Music] There’s a reason you have guys playing in their off wings. Yes, for one-times and to get looks at the net, but also when you’re a righty coming in off the left wing side, you see where your hands and where the stick is. They’re in the middle of the ice and that’s a big advantage. So, the pass the cross ice pass is being a taken away by Willsby, the defenseman. That’s what he’s worried about cuz Gonzalz is there and Chaffy does the right thing. Gets a defense. And what have you been saying? He is a Darkhorse candidate to get some power play minutes. And now here they come again. Twoon one. Hegel awaits. Cerill shoots. Oh, good stop by Sorrowos who slid across. That’s for sure. Look how far out he is. There’s a lot of movement to his game. That was a push and a half. One big push and then realize, okay, I’m not quite far enough over based on where the shots coming from. Well, he’s going to leave this one. And here comes Nashville again up the ice. Martin Into the middle he goes. England throws it towards the net. Albertson ready for it. Andy, when guys cut in from an angle, huh? Back in the day when it didn’t have the marsh pegs on the net and they had those 6-in pegs, you didn’t cut in from the angle very often, you could get rung up and get hurt. Kristen Allard, he was given a pretty healthy bump. And now back the other way comes Martin. Martin in a shot away. Good defense there by Croer. I think it was Carile that came in off the bench. Parallel did a really good job there. [Applause] Here comes Yoshi again. Captain of the Predators for nine years. Long shot handled by Olson. You’re matched up against the top guys on the other team. Well, for Mcdana, it’s every time. Ryan Mcdana who played all 82 games last season. Third time in his career. The first time since the 1819 as he was last year. Moolandike keeps it in for Nashville trying to get on the board here. The quick onetime from Osterly. Good save there by Halverson. Long shot on the way. Tipped and they score. Halverson didn’t really have much of a chance on that one. It was tipped right in front on the long range shot. And this goal is going to go to Aussie Wisblood. I believe Budget was his, but it’s going to be Wise Blood. Yeah. Yeah. This pretty nasty redirection from what I could see. Lightning trying to make just a a small play there. A short pass from from Mcdana to his teammate. It gets intercepted. Before you know it, it’s going back in the other direction. Yeah, that one gets knocked down. Oh, and it bounces. Yeah, that’s uh dropped back by Yosi. They step inside of the line. Here’s Forsberg into the middle. Good save. Rebound does not get through after the initial good stop. There’s the penalty and then Forsber crafty little pass there in through a bunch of sticks. Marshall S was ready squeezed out and now here comes Declan Carile up the ice. He’s got help back for Carile. Got the shot on the tip and Soros clos. We’ve seen Radish go there at times. Um can can he stay there? Would they switch it around? I think there’s an opening there for Darren Radish and uh he’s playing really well, very effectively in this game. Swings it around where it’s going to be met by Dust Stew. Snapped into the corner. Here’s Finley. Good pass. Gi with a shot. Good save by Murray as he’s called upon to get in the game in a hurry on that hard back to the line and it’s poked past already. And here comes a shortanded break. Danny Gard stopped by Murray to make intelligent plays in the right areas of the ice. He doesn’t rush. He’s not in a hurry, but he plays quick. That’s a great way to describe what we’ve seen from that guy. Here is Gonzalez. Quick shot tipped in back door. Brandon Hegel. [Music] [Applause] Great timing pattern. Terrific execution here. Radish and he knows what he wants to do already. Top of your screen, there goes Hegel. There’s a giant seam for Gonalves to make the pass. So, they’ve set this up well. They’ve moved the players around the way they want to. The pass is perfect. Hegel’s got his stick down and ready. And Gonzalez hits the scene. You could tell he knew exactly what he was going to do with it just Marsha. So does Rashad. Oh, redirected and kicked out by Fanty. It’s a good save. Quick reaction there. Those ones are tough. Change direction on you so quickly. Empty net for Gonzalez. Bingo right in the middle. 41 with the goalender pulled. Turn the puck over. They try to overload on Celli and Gonzalez is wide open. He just has to get to the red line. I think he would have been okay there. Finley again as he looks back at the bench. Time is going to wind down and the Tampa Bay Lightning are going to get their fourth straight win here in the preseason back-to- back wins. One last night against Carolina and then tonight against Nashville. [Music]

Brandon Hagel, Darren Raddysh, and Gage Gonclaves all tallied two points to lift the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 4-1 victory over the Nashville Predators. Anthony Cirelli aided on offence with two assists in the win.
