The Nashville Predators announced this morning that they have reassigned defenseman Alexander Sulzer to the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL. Sulzer had been the healthy scratch most games, unable to break into the 6th defenseman spot thanks to the strong play of Cody Franson.

Colin Wilson won the shootout in the eighth round with a quick release on a low snap/wrist shot to the stick side.
