Our buddy Dave Boehler reported that Ryan Ellis returned to Nashville today. He played in the Admirals’ last four games and scored a goal during that stint.

The Predators also signed forward Paul Crowder to a professional tryout contract. Crowder spent the last two years with the ECHL’s Wheeling Nailers, and played five games for the Manchester Monarchs in 2011-12.

Last season was the 28-year old Victoria, BC native’s most productive as he scored 23 goals and recorded 27 assists in 53 games played for the Nailers. He also scored a goal and picked up four assists in the ECHL playoffs.

That’s all for now. We leave you with this gem from r/hockey if you haven’t already seen it. Enjoy.
