NASHVILLE (AP) — Nashville Predators forward Mike Fisher has made his return from a brief retirement official by signing a one-year, $1 million contract for the remainder of the season.
Fisher had announced Jan. 31 that he was planning to return to the Predators. The 6-foot-1 center had announced his retirement in August.
