Predators Claim Tyson Jost Off Waivers From Hurricanes

The low-cost claim helps cover short-term forward vacancies caused by Luke Evangelista’s contract holdout plus Matthew Wood’s week-to-week injury.

Overview

  • Nashville inherits Jost’s one-year, two-way $775,000 contract that he signed with Carolina over the summer.
  • Jost recorded four goals and nine points in 39 NHL games last season and matched that production in 14 AHL games with the Chicago Wolves.
  • He was one of four Hurricanes forwards waived, alongside Noel Gunler, Josiah Slavin and Ryan Suzuki.
  • The Predators assigned forward Reid Schaefer to AHL Milwaukee in a corresponding move.
  • Jost was the lone claim from the day’s waiver wire, with the rest reported to have cleared.
