Predators recall F Gaudreau, place D Weber on IR

Oct 17, 2017 - 3:15 PM The Nashville Predators recalled forward Frederick Gaudreau from Milwaukee of the American Hockey League and placed defenseman Yannick Weber on injured reserve, the team announced Tuesday.

Gaudreau made a splash during the postseason last spring, becoming the first player since Chicago's John Harms in 1944 to score the first three goals (regular season and playoffs) of his NHL career in the Stanley Cup Final. He had an assist during his previous nine regular-season games in 2016-17 with Nashville.

The 24-year-old Quebec native is tied for the team lead in assists (three) and points (four) after three games this season with the Admirals.

Weber, who is nursing an upper-body injury, has recorded four penalty minutes while failing to notch a point in four games this season.
