NHL Stadium Series 2022: Nashville Predators, Tampa Bay Lightning make a statement with custom pregame outfits

NASHVILLE -- Wearing attention-grabbing outfits has become a hallmark of the NHL's outdoor games, and the Nashville Predators matched the vibe ahead of their Stadium Series game on Saturday.

The home team rolled up to the game looking like a bunch of outlaws before taking on the defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning.

Nashville players arrived in custom-made leather jackets they created themselves, with an assist from designer Travis Austin.

"We wanted to wear something cool. [Travis] Austin just opened up a store in Nashville. We went in there, and his jackets and hats looked unbelievable," said Predators captain Roman Josi, who wore a jacket with his number, son's name and an image of country music legend Johnny Cash on the back.
