This fulfilled the stipulations set out in a friendly wager proposed by captain Roman Josi, per the team's website. The players would be allowed to wear holiday suits to their final road game before the holiday break if they took five of six points from those three games, and the coaching staff would have to keep theirs on during the game against the Stars if a sweep was accomplished.

Happy holidays to you too, coaches. #Preds
