Overview
- PuckPedia posted Tuesday that Tyson Jost will attend the Nashville Predators’ 2026 training camp on a professional tryout, a report that was repeated and analyzed by multiple outlets.
- Jost played a bottom-six role for Nashville in 2025–26, recording eight goals and 16 points in 69 games while averaging about 12 minutes of ice time per game.
- The Predators claimed Jost off Carolina’s waivers at the start of the 2025–26 season, and his PTO reflects a chance to convert familiarity with the organization into a new contract.
- Jost faces competition from established depth players and prospects including Alexander Kerfoot, Ross Colton, Brady Martin and recent KHL signing Vitali Pinchuk for limited bottom-six spots.
- A PTO is a short-term tryout that does not guarantee a roster spot, meaning Jost will need to earn a deal in camp or likely be directed to the AHL’s Milwaukee Admirals as a veteran fallback option.
