A huge screen dropped down over the ice for the elaborate video
Dierks Bentley and Del McCoury sang the national anthem to open the Predators' second round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Jets at Bridgestone Arena Friday.
Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley and Maren Morris performed the anthem before Games 1, 2 and 5 of the Predators' opening series against the Avalanche.
The Predators also used a drop down screen, introduced before Game 1 of the series against the Avalanche, in the pregame festivities. The presentation was updated for the start of the second round, including text at the end that noted there are still 12 wins to go in the hunt for the Stanley Cup.
