Predators retain Irwin on 1-year extension
by from on (#27ZHR)
The Nashville Predators will keep Matt Irwin around for another season.
The defenseman has signed a one-year, $650,000 contract extension that will keep him in Nashville through the 2017-18 season, the club announced Friday.
Irwin's appeared in 32 games this season, and chipped in offensively with eight points. He's also had a positive effect on on-ice shot attempts in a depth role, ranking second among Predators defensemen in most metrics.
He's seen an uptick in ice time in the absence of P.K. Subban.
