The Nashville Predators have reduced their training camp roster to 33 players after making a number of cuts on Sept. 29.
The Predators assigned 11 forwards, five defensemen, and three goaltenders to the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) to get their roster down to 33. Included in the moves are:

Forwards: Daniel Carr, David Edstrom, Dylan Gambrell, Kalan Lind, Kyle Marino, Cole O’Hara, Isaac Ratcliffe, Austin Roest, Ryder Rolston, Oasiz Wiesblatt, Joey Willis
Defensemen: Andrew Gibson, Zack Hayes, Jack Matier, Chad Nychuk, Ryan Ufko
Goaltenders: Magnus Chrona, Ethan Haider, T.J. Semptimphelter
Among the players remaining for the final week of camp are all of their last four first-round picks: Brady Martin (2025), Matthew Wood (2023), Tanner Molendyk (2023), and Joakim Kemell (2022).
Martin, who will either need to stay on the NHL roster this season or head back to the OHL, has three points in four preseason games. Molendyk, who missed the first two weeks of camp, was back on the ice for two preseason road losses on Sept. 27 and 28.
The Predators’ roster, as it stands now, includes 18 forwards, 12 defensemen, and three goaltenders.
Nashville has one more preseason game to play, hosting the Carolina Hurricanes on Oct. 4 (3 p.m.) before they open the regular season against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 9 (7 p.m.).
