AUDIO: Neal, Leipsic on returning to Nashville, Subbans prepare for battle

James Neal will make his first appearance on Bridgestone Arena ice since he was picked by the Golden Knights in the 2017 Expansion Draft. He spoke fondly about his time in Nashville after morning skate.

The Subban family will have themselves quite the night on Friday as brothers Malcolm and P.K. will square off for the first time. To add to the intrigue, their father, Karl, will be in attendance as part of Vegas’ fathers trip. Both brothers are focused and ready to square off.

Finally, former Predators prospect Brendan Leipsic will return to Nashville to face off against some players he played with in his 47-game stint in Milwaukee with the Admirals. He was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2015 as part of the deal that sent Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli to Nashville.

Listen to the full audio report from morning skate.

Puck drop between the Predators and Golden Knights is at 7 PM central.
