Nashville Predators Claim Forward Tyson Jost Off Waivers From Carolina Hurricanes

The Nashville Predators claimed forward Tyson Jost off waivers from the Carolina Hurricanes, adding a versatile and speedy two-way player to their roster just before the NHL opening night roster deadline. Jost, a former 10th overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft by the Colorado Avalanche, has played 495 NHL games across Colorado, Minnesota, Buffalo, and Carolina, recording 61 goals and 149 points, though his scoring has not consistently met early expectations. Last season, he posted four goals and nine points in 39 games with the Hurricanes and also spent time in the AHL with the Chicago Wolves. The Predators assigned forward Reid Schaefer to their AHL affiliate in a corresponding move and now have 28 players at training camp. Jost's speed, playmaking, penalty-killing ability, and experience as both a center and winger offer Nashville depth and versatility as they finalize their roster ahead of the regular season. He joins a competitive forward group vying for limited roster spots, highlighting the Predators' strategic depth additions.
