Preds play at Jets tonight, sign forward Pitlick

The Nashville Predators are back on the ice this evening as they battle the Central Division leading Winnipeg Jets north of the border. The Jets are a win away from clinching the Central Division title. First puck drops at 6 pm.

Off the ice Friday, the Predators signed forward Rem Pitlick to a two-year, entry-level contract. Pitlick just finished his junior season at the University of Minnesota. The 21-year-old collected 21 goals and 24 assists for the Golden Gophers to earn first-team all-Big Ten honors.
