Gill started the anthem and his daughters chimed in and out with some beautiful harmonies. (That's also a Kevin Fiala jersey Gill is rocking in honor of the injured forward.)
Nashville's still coming in hot with the anthems.

Gill's passion for the Predators is widely known, and this isn't even the first time he and his daughters have belted the Star Spangled Banner in front of hockey fans in Nashville. During the 2016 NHL All-Star Game, Gill sang half the anthem before handing off to Corrina to sing the rest.
This year the Predators have made a tradition of surprising the faithful inside Bridgestone Arena with a superstar anthem singer. So far, they haven't strayed very far from their country roots, unveiling Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan and Little Big Town to sing their renditions this postseason.
Should Nashville's postseason journey continue beyond this round, speculation will be wide open on who they'll bring in as the TV spotlight ramps up more than it already has.
