Breaking: Preds announce two surprising AHL demotions
KeyStone Press

The Nashville Predators have announced this morning that two players will report to their AHL affiliate in Milwaukee effective immediately.

Frederick Gaudreau made a name for himself in the NHL during the Stanley Cup finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins, but hasn't been as visible in the early goings of the 2017-18 season - he has 2 assists to his name in 10 games.

As for Pontus Aberg, the fact that he's going to the AHL on a conditioning stint signals that he's been dealing with an injury and needs a bit of time to return to form.

Aberg has suited up for 9 games this season and also only has 2 assists.

The demotion of these two players suggests that Nick Bonino may be ready to be activated off injured reserve.
