Predators Honor James Shaw Jr., Waffle House Hero, During Playoff Game

A nice gesture by the Predators.

During Game 2 of their second-round matchup against the Winnipeg Jets, the Nashville Predators took the time to honor James Shaw, Jr., the man who disarmed the Antioch Waffle House shooter one week ago.

The local hero was honored in-game on Sunday night and met head coach Peter Laviolette.
