The Nashville Predators and forward Miikka Salomaki agreed to a two-year, $1.5-million deal ahead of an arbitration meeting set for Thursday, the team announced.
The 5-foot-11, 203-pound winger ranked fourth on Nashville in hits and set a career high in blocked shots last season. Heading into his fourth full season with the Preds, he has recorded 19 points in 125 games.
The Raahe, Finland, native was selected in the second round by Nashville in the 2011 draft.
