<p>Through 29 appearances this season with the AHL affiliated Milwaukee Admirals, Chrona posted an 11-11-5 showing with a .901 save percentage and 2.87 goals-against average. The 2024-25 campaign marks his second season in the AHL following a 31-game showing with the San Jose Barracuda a year ago that saw him put together a 6-17-6 record coupled with an .894 save percentage and 3.49 goals-against average.

<p>Originally chosen by the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/tampa-bay-lightning/line-combinations">Tampa Bay Lightning</a> in the fifth round of the 2018 NHL Draft, the 24-year-old Swedish-born netminder made his NHL debut with the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/san-jose-sharks/line-combinations">San Jose Sharks</a> in 2023-24 where through nine outings he went 1-6-1 with an .859 save percentage and 4.71 goals-against average.</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="160"></div>

In Milwaukee, the Predators also have 27-year-old farmhand Matthew Murray, who is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this coming offseason, per <a href="https://puckpedia.com/team/nashville-predators">PuckPedia</a>.</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="143"></div>
