It is a two-way contract with a cap hit of $0.775M at the NHL level. Grigals spent most of this season playing with the Atlanta Gladiators of the AHL before making one appearance with Nashville's AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals. He posted a 12-9-2 record and a .924 SV% in his final year of NCAA hockey with the University of Massachusetts Lowell in the 2022-23 season.

Saros will start against the Sabres on Thursday.

Saros will be right back between the pipes for the Predators on Thursday after seeing his personal six-game winning streak come to an end on Tuesday. Saros allowed four goals on 30 shots as the Predators fell to the Canadiens 4-3 in overtime. After a shaky start to the season, Saros' recent run of form has seen his record improve to 26-21-3 on the year to go along with a respectable .907 SV%. He's got a great chance of getting back in the win column on Thursday as the Predators are -165 favourites over the Sabres.

The Predators have acquired Jeremy Hanzel and a 2025 third-round pick from the Avalanche for akov Trenin and Graham Sward.

The Colorado Avalanche signed Hanzel to an entry-level contract on Thursday morning before dealing him to the Predators in the afternoon. Hanzel was the sixth-round pick of the Avalanche in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. As a 21-year-old, Hanzel has 50 points (13G / 37A) in 58 games with the Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL) this season.

Chrona will start on Thursday vs. the Islanders.

Chrona will return to the crease for the second time in the last four games. The 23-year-old netminder was outstanding in his last outing, albeit a 3-2 losing effort in a shootout, saving 36 of 38 shots (.947 SV%) against the Dallas Stars. That said, the Sharks are sizeable +229 home underdogs against a New York Islanders club riding a four-game winning streak.

Annunen will start on Monday vs. Chicago.

Annunen's strong play has earned him a larger workload lately, as he will start for the third time in the last seven games. The 23-year-old Annunen will be facing a low-scoring Chicago Blackhawks club that he made 24 saves against less than a week ago for his first career shutout. The Avalanche are enormous -464 home favourites against the Blackhawks on Monday night.
