Chrona posted a 31-save shutout in AHL Milwaukee's 3-0 win over Rockford on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

This was Chrona's first AHL shutout, coming in his 69th career appearance. The goalie is 3-5-0 with a 2.39 GAA and a .913 save percentage this season, but he hasn't been able to take away much playing time from Matt Murray. Chrona is likely no higher than fourth on Nashville's organizational depth chart in goal, and it would take a number of injuries for him to get called up this year.

Chrona signed a one-year, two-way contract with Nashville on Friday for the 2025-26 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Chrona has a 2.87 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 29 appearances with AHL Milwaukee in 2024-25. He's expected to start next season in the minors, but he might see time with the Predators if one of their goaltenders gets hurt during the campaign. The 24-year-old Chrona made eight starts with the Sharks last year, posting a 1-6-1 record, .859 save percentage and 4.71 GAA.

Chrona was sent to Nashville from San Jose along with David Edstrom and a conditional first-round pick in 2025 in exchange for Yaroslav Askarov, Nolan Burke and a 2025 third-round selection Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Chrona saw his first NHL action in 2023-24 for the bottom-dwelling Sharks, going 1-6-1 with a 4.71 GAA and an .859 save percentage. He will likely start the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Milwaukee, as the Predators are set between the pipes with Juuse Saros and Scott Wedgewood.

Chrona was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Chrona's demotion comes on the heels of a four-game losing streak during which he posted a 4.83 GAA and .854 save percentage. In a corresponding move, the Sharks activated Mackenzie Blackwood (groin) off injured reserve. As such, Chrona likely will finish the year in the minors with the Barracuda.

Chrona stopped 32 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Chrona and the Sharks had a 2-1 lead almost halfway through the game but it went downhill from there. The Predators scored seven unanswered goals in only a 26:42 minute span and it is safe to say this game was a rout. This was the fourth loss in a row for Chrona and he only has one total win on the season. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for goaltending help unless Chrona can dramatically turn things around soon. He's best left on the waiver wire in most leagues.

Chrona will guard the road net against the Predators on Tuesday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

Chrona allowed three goals on 19 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Columbus, making it his third straight defeat. The 23-year-old is still trying to figure out his game at the NHL level, recording an .869 save percentage and a 1-5-1 record in eight starts. He will have a tough task Tuesday against Nashville, which is currently holding onto the number one wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

Chrona allowed three goals on 19 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets. The fourth goal was an empt-netter.

EDGE Analysis

It was a tough night for Chrona, who allowed a goal in the first period and two more in the second en route to his third consecutive loss. The 23-year-old Chrona has struggled in his first NHL stint, going 1-5-1 with an .869 save percentage and a 4.23 GAA during the absence of Mackenzie Blackwood (groin). Devin Cooley will start Sunday in the second leg of a back-to-back, and Chrona could be relegated to backup duties soon because Blackwood is getting close to a return to the lineup.

Chrona will patrol the visiting crease versus Columbus on Saturday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

Chrona has lost his last two games, giving up eight goals on 71 shots (.887 save percentage). Chrona is currently the No. 1 goaltender with the Sharks, but he could be spending more time on the bench soon as Mackenzie Blackwood (groin) could return as early as Tuesday versus Nashville. Chrona is 9-18-3 with a 3.48 GAA and an .899 save percentage this year. The Blue Jackets have scored 144 goals this season, worst in the NHL.

Chrona allowed five goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

It was a tough night for Chrona, who allowed a pair of goals in each of the final two frames in an eventual 6-3 defeat. The 23-year-old netminder is now 1-4-1 with an uninspiring .872 save percentage and 4.43 GAA through his first seven NHL appearances. While Chrona will likely see the majority of starts until Mackenzie Blackwood (groin) returns, he's hard to trust as a fantasy option behind a last-place Sharks team.

Chrona will start Thursday on the road against Pittsburgh, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

Chrona was excellent in his last start, stopping 38 of 41 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Flyers on Tuesday. The 22-year-old has recorded an .879 save percentage and a 1-3-1 record in six games played this season. He'll draw into a road matchup with a desperate Penguins team which is 16-12-4 at home this year.
