The specter of ‘Bitegate’ will be hanging over the first meeting of the Western Conference powers since the Predators won 2-1 at T-Mobile Arena on Jan. 23 for what was the second loss of the current nine-game slide.
The game is remembered more for an incident involving Nashville defenseman P.K. Subban accusing Bellemare of biting his finger. Bellemare said Subban’s hand just happened to go inside his mouth during a brief scuffle and scrape his teeth. Replays were inconclusive.
