NASHVILLE — The Nashville Predators have added center Tyson Jost to their training camp roster on a Professional Tryout Agreement, according to PuckPedia. Jost, 28, played in 69 games for Nashville last year, scoring eight goals and adding eight assists.

Jost was drafted 10th overall in 2016 by the Colorado Avalanche. He's played for five different franchises over 10 years, transitioning from the Avalance to the Minnesota Wild, to the Buffalo Sabres, to the Carolina Hurricanes before spending last year in Nashville.

A Professional Tryout Agreement (PTO) does not guarantee a regular contract or pay outside of training camp. Players on a PTO can practice and play in exhibition or preseason games, but they must sign an official contract to play in the regular season. PTO's can also be used in the American Hockey League to fill roster spots caused by injuries or call-ups, but are limited to a 25-game maximum.

The Predators claimed Jost last October, after he was waived by the Hurricanes and reassigned to the Chicago Wolves in the AHL. He's scored 74 goals with 103 assists in 564 NHL games.

Nashville opens training camp on Sept. 16 and holds its first preseason game on Sept. 20 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
