Headed overseas Chrona signed a two-year contract with Swedish club Brynas IF on Tuesday.

Impact Chrona logged 25 games for AHL Milwaukee this season in which he went 9-11-3 with a 2.94 GAA, .894 save percentage and one shutout. Selected by the Lightning in the fifth round of the 2018 NHL Draft, the 25-year-old backstop has only played in nine NHL games, back in 2023-24 when he was with the Sharks. While not necessarily the final nail in the coffin, this could mark the end of Chrona's NHL career.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Earns shutout for Milwaukee Chrona posted a 31-save shutout in AHL Milwaukee's 3-0 win over Rockford on Tuesday.

Impact This was Chrona's first AHL shutout, coming in his 69th career appearance. The goalie is 3-5-0 with a 2.39 GAA and a .913 save percentage this season, but he hasn't been able to take away much playing time from Matt Murray. Chrona is likely no higher than fourth on Nashville's organizational depth chart in goal, and it would take a number of injuries for him to get called up this year.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Re-signs Friday Chrona signed a one-year, two-way contract with Nashville on Friday for the 2025-26 campaign.

Impact Chrona has a 2.87 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 29 appearances with AHL Milwaukee in 2024-25. He's expected to start next season in the minors, but he might see time with Nashville if a Predators goaltender gets hurt during the campaign. The 24-year-old Chrona has yet to make his NHL debut.

APRIL 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Traded to Nashville Chrona was sent to Nashville from San Jose along with David Edstrom and a conditional first-round pick in 2025 in exchange for Yaroslav Askarov, Nolan Burke and a 2025 third-round...

Impact Chrona saw his first NHL action in 2023-24 for the bottom-dwelling Sharks, going 1-6-1 with a 4.71 GAA and an .859 save percentage. He will likely start the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Milwaukee as the Predators are set between the pipes with Juuse Saros and Scott Wedgewood.

AUGUST 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to minors Chrona was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Thursday.

Impact Chrona's demotion comes on the heels of a four-game losing streak during which he posted a 4.83 GAA and .854 save percentage. In a corresponding move, the Sharks activated Mackenzie Blackwood (groin) off injured reserve. As such, Chrona likely will finish the year in the minors with the Barracuda.

Gives up eight goals Chrona stopped 32 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Predators.

Impact Chrona and the Sharks had a 2-1 lead almost halfway through the game but it went downhill from there. The Predators scored seven unanswered goals in only a 26:42 minute span and it is safe to say this game was a rout. This was the fourth loss in a row for Chrona and he only has one total win on the season. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for goaltending help unless Chrona can dramatically turn things around soon. He's best left on the waiver wire in most leagues.

The 23-year-old Chrona has struggled in his first NHL stint, going 1-5-1 with an .869 save percentage and 4.23 GAA with Mackenzie Blackwood (groin) sidelined. Devin Cooley will start Sunday in the second leg of a back-to-back and Chrona could soon be relegated to backup duties, with Wedgewood returning as soon as Tuesday in Nashville.

MARCH 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in Columbus Chrona will patrol the visiting crease versus Columbus on Saturday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Chrona has lost his last two games, giving up eight goals on 71 shots (.887 save percentage).

MARCH 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Falls to Pittsburgh Chrona allowed five goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact It was a tough night for Chrona, who allowed a pair of goals in each of the final two frames in an eventual 6-3 defeat. The 23-year-old netminder is now 1-4-1 with an uninspiring .872 save percentage and 4.43 GAA through his first seven NHL appearances. While Chrona will likely see the majority of starts until Mackenzie Blackwood (groin) returns, he's hard to trust as a fantasy option behind a last-place Sharks team.

Guarding crease Thursday Chrona will start Thursday on the road against Pittsburgh, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Chrona was excellent in his last start stopping 38 of 41 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Flyers on Tuesday. The 22-year-old has recorded an .879 save percentage and a 1-3-1 record in 6 games played. He will have a tough test Thursday against a desperate Penguins team who is 16-12-4 at home.

Guarding goal Tuesday Chrona was the first off the ice in Tuesday's practice and will start on the road against the Flyers, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Gets first win of NHL career Chrona stopped 31 of 32 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Senators.

Impact What a night to remember for Chrona. It was only the fifth game of his NHL career and he was finally able to get his first win! Chrona was the difference maker on the night, stopping all but one shot in the second period for an impressive .969 save percentage. After allowing the power-play goal, Chrona kicked aside the remaining 14 shots sent his way to backstop the Sharks to their first win since Feb. 15. While the win was impressive, fantasy managers should stay away from him, even as a streaming option, as San Jose is still sitting at the bottom of the standings so wins will be few and far between.

No match for Islanders Chrona stopped 26 of 33 shots in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Chrona gave up a couple of soft goals in the first period and then unraveled completely in the second. Anders Lee also banked a power-play tally off the rookie goalie in the third. Chrona is now 0-2-1 with 17 goals allowed over four appearances this season. If Kaapo Kahkonen is dealt before Friday's trade deadline, Chrona could remain in the NHL, though his starts are unlikely to go very well given the team in front of him.

Chrona has gone 0-1-1 with 10 goals allowed on 67 shots through three NHL outings this season. He'll likely stick with the big club for as long as Mackenzie Blackwood (undisclosed) is on injured reserve.
