Chrona was acquired by the Predators alongside David Edstrom and a 2025 1st-round pick (VGK - Top 10 protected) from San Jose for Yaroslav Askarov, Nolan Burke and a 2025 3rd-round pick on Friday. The 23-year-old goaltender made his NHL debut in 2023-24 but struggled behind a weak San Jose team with a 1-6-1 record, 4.71 GAA and .859 SV%. He is expected to be the Predators' third goaltender behind Juuse Saros and Scott Wedgewood.

Chrona has been reassigned to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL).

Chrona took over starting duties for the Sharks after Kaapo Kahkonen was traded but will return to the AHL after Mackenzie Blackwood has been activated from IR. Chrona's most recent outing was the worst of his young career, allowing eight goals on 40 shots (.800 SV%) in an 8-2 loss to the Nashville Predators.

Chrona will start on Tuesday vs. Nashville.

The Sharks have relied heavily on Chrona since Kaapo Kahkone was traded to the New Jersey Devils and he will return to the crease for the sixth time in the last seven games. Chrona's performance thus far has been inconsistent, a byproduct of playing for a defensively troubled Sharks club. He has one win this season (1-5-1) along with a 4.23 GAA and .869 SV%.

Chrona will start on Saturday in Columbus.

The Sharks will return to Chrona between the pipes on the front end of a back-to-back on Saturday, his fifth straight start. The 23-year-old Chrona has struggled in his first NHL season, allowing four or more goals in four of seven appearances (1-4-1), posting a miserable .872 SV%. The Sharks will visit a Columbus Blue Jackets team riding a three-game losing skid.

Chrona will start on Thursday vs. Pittsburgh.

With the recent departure of Kaapo Kahkonen in a trade to the New Jersey Devils, Chrona has started the last three games for the Sharks and will return to the crease on Thursday. In his last four games, Chrona allowed seven goals once but has been serviceable otherwise, keeping the opposition to three or fewer goals in the other three contests (1-2-1). That said, the Sharks are sizeable +267 road underdogs despite facing a Pittsburgh Penguins club that has been abysmal lately, being outscored 17-2 during a four-game losing skid.

Chrona has showcased mixed results so far but is coming off his first career victory, saving 31 of 32 shots (.969 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators.

Chrona will return to the crease for the second time in the last four games. The 23-year-old netminder was outstanding in his last outing, albeit a 3-2 losing effort in a shootout, saving 36 of 38 shots (.947 SV%) against the Dallas Stars. That said, the Sharks are sizeable +229 home underdogs against a New York Islanders club riding a four-game winning streak.

Chrona has been recalled from the San Jose Barracuda (AHL).

Mackenzie Blackwood suffered an undisclosed injury on Tuesday, forcing him to exit the Sharks 7-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils in the first period with an undisclosed injury. Blackwood has been placed on IR, prompting the Sharks to recall Chrona for the second time this season. Chrona has struggled immensely in limited action with the Sharks this season, posting a 9.50 GAA and .724 SV% in two appearances (0-1-0).

Magnus Chrona will make the first start of his career Thursday vs. Edmonton.

Chrona was recalled by the Sharks earlier this week after Mackenzie Blackwood was ruled unable to play due to an illness. The Sharks will turn to Chrona for the first start of his career on the back end of a back-to-back Thursday in a difficult matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. He entered a game in relief earlier this season for the Sharks, allowing four goals on 17 shots (.765 SV%), but has spent most of the season with the San Jose Baracuda of the AHL, posting a 3.35 GAA and .900 SV% in 11 games (3-6-2). Chrona and the Sharks' outlook for Thursday is not promising as they are +360 road underdogs and the Oilers.
