Predators add Gurianov on 1-year, $850K contract
The Nashville Predators signed forward Denis Gurianov to a one-year contract worth $850,000, the team announced Tuesday.
Gurianov, 26, tallied seven goals and 17 points in 66 games last season with the Dallas Stars and Montreal Canadiens.
Montreal didn't tender Gurianov his $2.9-million qualifying offer after trading for him last season, which made him an unrestricted free agent.
Gurianov has reached the 20-goal mark once in his NHL career, back in 2019-20. He was impressive in the Stars' run to the Stanley Cup final that campaign, posting nine goals and 17 points in 27 playoff games.
The Russian has accrued 51 goals and 111 points in 280 career games across six seasons. He registered a career-high 31 points in 2021-22.
Gurianov was drafted 12th overall by Dallas in 2015.
