The 2012–13 Nashville Predators season was the club's 15th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to a lockout.
After already losing one half of their All-Star defensive core to free agency when Ryan Suter signed with the Minnesota Wild, Shea Weber signed an offer sheet from the Philadelphia Flyers on July 19, 2012. The Predators had 7 days to decide whether to match or not, and on July 24, they matched the offer to keep Weber in a Predators uniform.
The Predators scored 109 goals (excluding three shootout-winning goals) over the lockout-shortened season of 48 games, tied for 30th overall with the Florida Panthers. The Predators were also shut out a league-high 9 times, tied with the Phoenix Coyotes.
