Nashville, Tenn. (February 6, 2021) - Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the team has recalled forward Sean Malone from Chicago (AHL) to the taxi squad. Additionally, the team has reassigned forwards Mathieu Olivier and Eeli Tolvanen to the taxi squad.

Malone, 25 (4/30/95), signed with the Predators in July after skating in 58 games with the AHL's Rochester Americans in 2019-20, tallying 30 points (12g-18a), tied for the second-most on the team. The 6-foot, 196-pound center also matched his AHL career high in goals with 12 - tied for the third-most on the Americans - and had a +15 rating, the best mark among Rochester forwards. It was Malone's third professional season - he has appeared in 169 career AHL contests, all with the Americans, and has recorded 28 goals and 65 points. He has also suited up in one career NHL game, coming on April 8, 2017 with the Buffalo Sabres against the Florida Panthers.
