The Nashville Predators have returned to Music City for a crucial game six against the San Jose Sharks.
A Preds loss would secure the Sharks' spot in the conference final -- their first since 2011.
The team returns to Smashville following Saturday night’s 5-1 loss in San Jose.
The Predators haven't lost a game in regulation at Bridgestone Arena against the Sharks since February 2012.
NewsChannel 5 caught up with some of the players when they landed Sunday in Nashville.
Right wing Craig Smith said the Sharks are fast but they're looking forward to being back home.
“It's a dangerous animal, especially when we're playing a team that's in the same position so we're ready to go,” said Smith. “I think we'll take this day, kind of recuperate and get ready for the first period."
The puck drops at 8 p.m. Monday, but a plaza party will begin at 5 p.m. They're also giving out gold hats and towels to fans who go to the game.
If the Preds win, they head back to San Jose for the tie breaker.
