Prospect
Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Predators in July of 2023.
Not ready to play
Molendyk (lower body) will remain on the shelf versus the Lightning on Tuesday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Even before getting hurt, Molendyk's best hope was likely making the jump to the professional ranks with AHL Milwaukee, rather than truly being in the mix for a roster spot with the Predators. Selected by the organization with the 24th overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, the 20-year-old defenseman's long-term development probably won't benefit from another year in juniors, so look for him to suit up for the Admirals once given the all-clear eventually.
