One of the game’s greatest looks to keep helping his team stay on the winning track, as Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins pay a visit to the Nashville Predators on Friday afternoon in the 2025 NHL Global Series.
Both teams have had plenty of games overseas in their histories. Along with many exhibition games, the Penguins last played overseas in Stockholm in the 2008 NHL Premiere, splitting a pair of games with the Ottawa Senators. The Predators competed in the 2022 Global Series in Czechia, winning a pair against the San Jose Sharks.
The Penguins have been one of the pleasant surprises this season. The team that has missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs in each of the past three seasons seemed like it was on its way to a full-blown rebuild. However, thanks to a strong start by veterans such as Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, along with contributions up and down the lineup, Pittsburgh has been one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference.
The Predators are hoping that Filip Forsberg playing in his home country can help turn the team’s fortunes. Following a 6-3 loss to the New York Rangers on Monday, Nashville has lost five games in a row.
