Calle Jarnkrok tied the game and Kyle Turris won it in the shootout as the Nashville Predators defeated the Anaheim Ducks by a 3-2 final on Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena.

With the idea of constant improvement to the guest experience at Bridgestone Arena in mind, Smashville Self Serve kiosks will be making their debut on Thursday night when the Preds host the Vancouver Canucks. The goal with the new point-of-sale stations is simple: allow fans to spend more time doing anything else, other than standing in line while waiting for a delicious offering. “This is an innovative idea where you take the longest...
