The season was suspended by the league officials on March 12, 2020, after several other professional and collegiate sports organizations followed suit as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled.[5] The Predators advanced to the playoffs, but were defeated in four games by the Arizona Coyotes in the qualifying round.[6]
