The Nashville Predators re-signed defenceman Alexandre Carrier to a one-year, $2.5 million contract on Saturday.
Carrier, who was a restricted free agent, posted two goals and seven assists in 43 games with the Predators last season.
The 26-year-old from Quebec City was drafted in the fourth round, 115th overall, by Nashville in 2015.
He recorded a career-high 30 points (three goals and 27 assists) during his first full season with Nashville in 2021-22 and became the first Predators defenceman named to the NHL's All-Rookie Team.
Carrier has 42 career points (six goals and 36 assists) in 144 games with the Predators.
