Zolnierczyk agreed to terms on a two-year contract with Nashville on Tuesday -- which immediately placed him on waivers, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zolnierczyk returns to the Predators organization after attempting to land a gig with the Panthers on a professional tryout. The winger will almost certainly be reassigned to AHL Milwaukee -- assuming he clears -- and likely will spend much of the season in the minors given the glut of young talent within the Nashville system.

Zolnierczyk was included in the Panthers' final cuts from training camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Brown University product has been a journeyman over his six-year professional career, suiting up for five different organizations in that span. If another team is looking to add Zolnierczyk to its system, he won't provide much from an offensive standpoint, but is a hardworking, responsible player with experience.

Zolnierczyk will attend Florida's training camp on a professional tryout agreement.

EDGE Analysis

Zolnierczyk wasn't very productive in limited action with the Predators last season, notching four points (two goals, two assists) in 24 games while averaging just 8:52 of ice time over that span. The 29-year-old winger is nothing more than an organizational depth option for NHL teams at this stage in his career.

Zolnierczyk recorded an assist and two hits in 6:41 of ice time during Monday's Game 4 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

It's tough to do much with such little ice time, but Zolnierczyk helped boost Nashville's fourth line onto the score sheet. This was the 29-year-old's third appearance of the past two series, and even if he does draw into the lineup for Game 5, there's no way to justify starting a bottom-six winger who averages such little ice time.

Zolnierczyk is expected to make his Stanley Cup Finals debut on Saturday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Look for the 29-year-old to tag in for Vernon Fiddler as the fourth-line center. Zolnierczyk is an agitator who figures to make up for the projected absence of Cody McLeod, who is expected to join Fiddler as a healthy scratch for Nashville's first home game of the Cup finals.

Zolnierczyk found twine in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Good luck pronouncing his name, but at least the depth winger makes it easy to see that he's a terrific skater with a physical element to his game. He ended up with 14:32 of ice time in this latest contest, which was much more than usual since the Predators were in full control. Every bit of production is huge for Zolnierczyk since he has been with five different clubs since starting out with the Flyers in 2011-12 -- we're thinking a permanent abode would serve him well.

Zolnierczyk (undisclosed) is no longer listed on injured reserve, according to the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Zolnierczyk's first eligible date for activation arrives Sunday and his activation from injured reserve suggests he will be ready to return when first eligible. Even if he rejoins the lineup as expected, it will likely go unnoticed in the vast majority of fantasy leagues given his 8:33 average time on ice. He has tallied three points in 15 contests with the Predators this season, but that's hardly enough to push him on to the radar.

Zolnierczyk was placed on injured reserve Monday, Adam Vingan of The Tennessean reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zolnierczyk participated in practice Monday and played in Saturday's game against the Red Wings, so his placement on injured reserve comes as a bit of a surprise. Given that he averages just 8:33 of ice time, the borderline NHL winger's disappearance from the lineup shouldn't have a large impact in fantasy leagues. His status should be updated again when he's ready to return to action.

Zolnierczyk recorded his first point of the season with an assist during Saturday's 3-2 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Zolnierczyk has now skated in six consecutive games since being recalled from AHL Milwaukee earlier in January. However, he's only averaging roughly 10 minutes in ice time on the Preds' fourth line, so he offers very little by way of fantasy value at the current time.

Zolnierczyk was called up from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Zolnierczyk will provide some much needed depth after Reid Boucher was claimed off waivers by New Jersey. With the Admirals, the winger has racked up six goals and 10 assists in 24 outings. The 29-year-old's lone 2016-17 appearance came Oct. 22 against the Penguins in which he tallied two PIM, one hit, and one blocked shot in 7:50 of ice time.
