The Predators played with new line combinations during Monday's practice.

Alex Kerfoot: Chris MacFarland is why he signed with Predators

Alexander Kerfoot’s understated three-season run with the Utah Mammoth—spanning the franchise’s transition from Arizona to Salt Lake City—comes to an end as the versatile forward departs in free agency after a steady but injury-disrupted final year.

Nashville bolsters its offensive depth, securing the versatile playmaker to a multi-million-dollar deal as General Manager Chris MacFarland continues an aggressive offseason overhaul of the roster.

The Nashville Predators have signed forward Alex Kerfoot to a two-year contract worth $7 million, the team announced on July 1.

The NHL’s free-agency period is nearly here. While there isn’t a plethora of high-end talent at center, there will be some veterans who are handsomely compensated. Here are the top five centers available as UFAs this summer.

Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe's goals wouldn't be enough in the LA Kings 6-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth Saturday night at Crypto.com Arena. The Kings have now lost five of their last six games and only have nine games remaining in the regular season. LA remains in the third place Wild Card spot at 29-26-18.
