This contract extension reflects the team's confidence in Novak's abilities and potential, as well as their commitment to maintaining a competitive roster.

This season, the 26-year-old has scored 13 goals and 34 total points across 50 games played.

Novak, who has shown promising development and versatility on the ice, will continue to be a key player for the Predators. His performance up to this point has evidently made a significant impression on the team's management, leading to this substantial investment in his future with the club.
