Austin Watson, the Predators first round pick 18th overall, in the 2010 Draft, made his NHL debut Sunday. Watson had one shot on goal in 13:47 minutes of action. "It was a good experience, wish we would have come out with the win. But for a first game, it's good to get under my belt," Watson said. "Just a little bit of nerves and trying to get on the same page as everybody who has been here throughout the year. Overall just a really good experience. Wish we would have come out with the win." Watson had 20 goals and 36 points in 68 AHL games this season. He is projected to be a strong skater with a great two-way game.
