The 2012–13 Nashville Predators season was the club's 15th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to a lockout.
Off-season
After already losing one half of their All-Star defensive core to free agency when Ryan Suter signed with the Minnesota Wild, Shea Weber signed an offer sheet from the Philadelphia Flyers on July 19, 2012.[2] The Predators had 7 days to decide whether to match or not, and on July 24, they matched the offer to keep Weber in a Predators uniform.[3]
Regular season
The Predators scored 109 goals (excluding three shootout-winning goals) over the lockout-shortened season of 48 games, tied for 30th overall with the Florida Panthers. The Predators were also shut out a league-high 9 times, tied with the Phoenix Coyotes.[4][5]
