Predators Re-Sign Andreas Englund for One Year

The Nashville Predators have re-signed defenseman Andreas Englund to a one-year, $775,000 contract after claiming him off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings earlier in the season. Englund recently returned from illness to play in the season finale and contributed three points, 74 hits, 48 penalty minutes, and 38 blocked shots over 34 games split between the Predators and Kings this season. During Englund's brief absence, Ryan Ufko was recalled and made his NHL debut. The Predators' roster moves reflect their ongoing efforts to strengthen defensive depth. Other league teams, including Toronto and Ottawa, are also managing player health and rest as the regular season concludes. These updates highlight key roster decisions as the season ends.
