When you’re really excited to attend an NHL game, sometimes you fly to the wrong city. It happens to the best of us.

A Philadelphia-based Nashville Predators fan—according to her Twitter bio her dog even is named after former Preds captain Shea Weber—wanted to watch her team take on the New Jersey Devils Thursday night. So she flew to Nashville and headed to Bridgestone Arena. The only issue with that? The game took place at the Prudential Center in New Jersey.

Don’t worry though. This story has a happy ending.

The Predators caught wind of the fan’s predicament and reached out.

A swag bag and a funny story isn’t a bad consolation prize. Oh, and the Preds ended up blanking the Devils 3-0 too.
