The Nashville Predators have announced that they have signed goaltender Magnus Chrona to a one-year, two-way contract extension for the 2025-26 season. At the NHL level, Chrona will carry a $775,000 cap hit.
Chrona, 24, was acquired by the Predators from the San Jose Sharks back in August as a part of the Yaroslav Askarov trade. This was after Chrona posted a 1-6-2 record, a 4.71 goals-against average, and a .859 save percentage in his first nine career NHL games with the Sharks in 2023-24.
Chrona has yet to make his Predators regular-season debut and has instead spent this entire campaign down in the AHL with the Milwaukee Admirals. In 29 games this season with the AHL club, he has an 11-11-5 record, a .901 save percentage, and a 2.87 goals-against average.
Overall, there is no harm in the Predators keeping Chrona around for next season. At a minimum, he will continue to provide them with more goalie depth for the AHL.
