Adam Wilsby signs two-year extension with Predators

Wilsby has notched five points in 23 games this season, holding a plus-3 rating and averaging 18:06 of time on ice. Wilsby scored his first career NHL goal on Dec. 17 versus the New York Rangers and extended his three-game point streak. Wilsby has added 18 hits and 17 blocked shots on the season.

Wilsby spent the entirety of the 2023-24 season in the AHL with the Predators minor-league affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals, where he had 8 goals and 13 assists for 21 points in 61 games. It was the best season of his AHL career so far, setting new career highs in goals and points after only having 1 goal and 17 assists for 18 points in his rookie season, which also came in 72 games.

Wilsby also had 3 assists in 15 playoff games as the Admirals were eliminated in the Western Conference Final by the Coachella Valley Firebirds in 5 games.

Wilsby was a fourth-round pick for the Predators in the 2020 NHL Draft out of Sweden, and after three more seasons in the Swedish Hockey League and the Swedish 1st Division, he signed his entry-level contract with the team in 2022 before playing in the playoffs for the Admirals that season, and then making his regular season debut in 2022-23. He has yet to play a game in the NHL at this point.
