Forward Nino Niederreiter was already hyped about signing a 2-year contract with the Nashville Predators on July 21, but now not only is he with his team, but he can also participate in the NHL Global Series taking place in his home country. The Predators will face off SC Bern of the National League in a preseason game at PostFinance Arena in Bern.
The game will take place on October 3, where not only the Predators, but the San Jose Sharks will also be playing against Eisbaren Berlin of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin on October 4th. After the preseason games, the Sharks and Predators will start the 2022-23 regular season with two games at O2 Arena in Prague on October 7 and 8.
Nino Niederreiter excited to play at Bern for the NHL Global Series
During the NHL European Player Media Tour last week, Nino said, “I was kind of focused on different things”. “Then I remembered, oh yeah, that’s right. They’re playing in Bern. So that was kind of the icing on the cake.” “I live like four hours away from there roughly, but still, I’ve got a lot of people coming from my city to come to watch that game. It’s exciting. I never had a chance to open up with a game in Europe, so it’s cool.”

On the other hand, the Sharks forward Timo Meier noted that he was feeling a bit jealous of Nino as he’s getting to play in his home country, Bern, “Really exciting,”. “I also have a lot of people coming to see the game, so the excitement for my friends and family is high too. They all want to come to Prague and watch. I’ve never been to both cities, so I hopefully get to see some from the city, kind of explore the cities. But I think it’s really exciting being in the same time zone as all my friends and family. So I’m really looking forward to it.”
