NASHVILLE - The Nashville Predators announced Friday that they acquired defenseman Jayden Struble from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Vegas' second-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft, according to a team press release. General Manager Chris MacFarland said Struble, 25, is a "physical defender who will add mobility and a hard-to-play against quality that will help our backend." The release says Struble has appeared in three games for Montreal this season, averaging 12:05 of ice time with four hits and three blocked shots. Last season he had 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) in 59 games for the Canadiens. He has 174 career NHL games, all with Montreal.
