NASHVILLE — The Nashville Predators have recalled forward Frederick Gaudreau from the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals and placed defenceman Yannick Weber on injured reserve.

The Predators announced the moves Tuesday before hosting the Colorado Avalanche.

Gaudreau from Bromont, Quebec, played in nine games with Nashville last season, and the forward was at his best in the playoffs where he scored three goals in eight games. Gaudreau became the first player since John Harms with Chicago in 1944 to score the first three goals of his career in the Stanley Cup Final.

Weber was hit in the head by Dallas centre Martin Hanzal in a 4-1 Nashville win last week.
