NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Nashville Predators signed newcomer Mavrik Bourque to a six-year, US$33 million contract Saturday.

The 24-year-old Bourque was acquired from the Dallas Stars on Wednesday in an NHL trade that also sent defenceman Ilya Lyubushkin to the Predators.

The Stars received the second-round pick in the 2027 NHL draft and a third-round selection in the 2028 draft.

Bourque had career highs with 20 goals and 21 assists in 82 games for the Stars last season.
