The Nashville Predators have placed Zach Sanford on waivers, according to Chris Johnston and Elliotte Friedman.
The Predators had signed the 28-year-old forward to a one-year deal this past offseason, hoping Sanford could regain the scoring touch he had during his career-best season with the Blues in 2020. However, he had trouble beating other players for ice time, suiting up for just 8 of the Preds’ 19 games this season. Sanford had two points, a goal and an assist, in those eight games.
Sanford last played in the Predators’ 4-3 shootout win over the Arizona Coyotes, and most notably took a retaliatory penalty late in the third period to give the Coyotes a power play chance late in the game.
