Predators Sign Forward Olvecky to One-Year Contract

The Nashville Predators have announced that they have signed left wing Peter Olvecky to a one-year, two-way contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 31 games last season with the Minnesota Wild, Olvecky scored two goals and five assists for seven points. He also appeared in 41 games with the Wild’s AHL affiliate in Houston, scoring six goals and 17 assists for 23 points. This is not a bad depth signing for the Predators, as Olvecky has the skills to become a top-nine forward in the NHL. He gives the team plenty of offensive depth and some skill on the power play and penalty kill.
