The Predators were the last team to record their first regulation loss of the regular season. They opened the season with an 8–0–1 stretch before losing at home to the Edmonton Oilers on October 29, 2005, 5–1.
On March 9, 2006, David Legwand tied the record for the fastest regular season overtime goal scored (set on December 30, 1995, by Mats Sundin) when he scored just six seconds into the overtime period to give the Predators a 3–2 road win over the Vancouver Canucks.[1][2]
Starting goaltender Tomas Vokoun missed the final eight regular season games and the playoffs due to a blood condition.[3]
