The 2010–11 Nashville Predators season was the team's 13th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). They were defeated by the Vancouver Canucks in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Pre-season

With their 18th-overall first-round pick, the Predators chose Austin Watson of the Peterborough Petes.

Regular season

The Predators opened the season on October 9 at home against the Anaheim Ducks. The regular season ended on April 9, with their final game being against the St. Louis Blues.

Playoffs

The Predators clinched a berth in the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs as the Western Conference's fifth seed. The Predators won their first playoff series in franchise history after defeating the Anaheim Ducks in six games to advance to the Western Conference Semifinals against the first seed, the Vancouver Canucks. In a low-scoring series, the Canucks managed to close out the Predators at Bridgestone Arena in six games.
