Jake Livingstone

Livingstone picked up one assist, six hits and 11 blocked shots in a five-game audition for the Predators after signing late in the season out of Minnesota State University Mankato. The 24-year-old blueliner showed some scoring chops in the NCAA ranks a year ago with 35 points in 39 games, but he's got a good chance of spending most of 2023-24 with AHL Milwaukee. Should the Predators suffer a lot of injuries on defense again, he could be back in the NHL, but Livingstone will likely need to gain some professional experience over a full season first.
