The teams split two games during the regular season.

Nashville won 5-1 on Oct. 22, while the Penguins defeated the Preds 4-2 on Jan. 31. Marc-Andre Fleury faced Juuse Saros in goal in that first game (Fleury allowed five goals on 23 shots and was pulled for Mike Condon), while Matt Murray and Pekka Rinne battled in the second meeting.

The latter two will be in the crease Monday night when Game 1 is played in Pittsburgh, barring any injuries.
