The Predators were the last team to record their first regulation loss of the regular season. They opened the season with an 8–0–1 stretch before losing at home to the Edmonton Oilers on October 29, 2005, 5–1.

In response, Mason said, "It was a cheesy goal. Someone else should have received it." [4]
