Predators re-sign Aberg to 2-year deal

The Nashville Predators and forward Pontus Aberg have agreed to a two-year extension, the team announced Tuesday.

The deal will see Aberg earn $650,000 over each of the next two campaigns.

Aberg made his NHL debut last season, appearing in 15 games. The Swedish forward spent much of the year with the Milwaukee Admirals, the Predators' minor-league affiliate, with whom he tallied 52 points in 56 contests.

The 23-year-old made a name for himself during the Predators' run to the Stanley Cup Finals, as he tallied two goals and three assists in 16 appearances, including the game-winner against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final.
