Predators Reassign Spencer Stastney

May 9, 2024 at 12:00 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

The Predators have reassigned defenseman Spencer Stastney to AHL Milwaukee, general manager Barry Trotz announced Thursday.

Stastney wasn’t sent down with three other fringe players last weekend, likely because he was still rehabbing the upper-body injury he sustained on a hit from Canucks forward Dakota Joshua in Game 3 of Nashville’s first-round loss. Today’s move indicates he’s been cleared to return.

The 24-year-old graduated from rookie status this season, skating in a career-high 20 regular season games with the Preds. A Nashville fifth-round pick in 2018, Stastney is wrapping up his second full professional season after finishing his collegiate career at Notre Dame in 2022.

It was a solid run for the 6’0″, 183-lb left-shot defender. He was passable at worst in his limited role, compiling two goals and two assists with a +9 rating while averaging 15:59 per game. Advanced metrics painted an optimistic picture of Stastney’s game, logging a 51.9 CF% and 59.3 xGF% at even strength.

Stastney played a handful of games for the Preds early on in the season but remained in Milwaukee for most of the year until a mid-March recall. After a three-month minor-league assignment, he sustained an upper-body injury in his first game back in the NHL but returned to play in Nashville’s final 10 games of the regular season.

That earned him a spot in head coach Andrew Brunette’s Game 1 lineup against Vancouver ahead of the more experienced Tyson Barrie and Dante Fabbro. Before leaving the series due to the Joshua hit, Stastney had a +1 rating, one shot on goal and one block against the Canucks.

Stastney now returns to Milwaukee for some Calder Cup Playoff action after posting five goals, 20 points and a +27 rating in 44 regular-season games there. The Admirals trail 2-1 in their best-of-five division semifinal series against Texas, with Stastney expected to draw in for a must-win Game 4 on Friday. He’s in need of a new contract this summer, with his two-year entry-level contract set to expire and make him a restricted free agent.
