The Nashville Predators have acquired forward Nick Baptiste from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for defenseman Jack Dougherty, the teams announced Monday.
Baptiste appeared in 33 games with the Sabres last season, picking up four goals and two assists. He was Buffalo's third-round pick in 2013.
Dougherty has yet to make his NHL debut, having spent the past two full seasons with the Milwaukee Admirals, the Predators' AHL affiliate. He notched one goal and 11 assists in 63 contests with the Admirals last season.
The Predators chose Dougherty in the second round of the 2014 draft.
