The 2021–22 Nashville Predators season was the 24th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997.[2] John Hynes entered his third season and second full season as head coach of the team.

The Predators opened the season at home on October 14, 2021, against the NHL's expansion team, the Seattle Kraken. The Predators lost the game 4–3, giving the Kraken the franchise's first-ever win.[3] On April 26, 2022, the Predators clinched a playoff berth after the Dallas Stars defeated the Vegas Golden Knights in a shootout.[4] In the playoffs, the Predators were swept in the first round by the Colorado Avalanche.
