The 25-year-old Lauzon has five NHL goals and 18 points in 142 games.
He scored one goal in 13 games with the Predators.
“My teammates and the whole organization made me feel welcome right from the start,” said Lauzon. I look forward to the chance to help a club that is growing and moving in the right direction. »
Last season, he was seventh among defensemen in the league with 224 hits.
Lauzon also played with the Boston Bruins, who drafted him 52nd overall in 2015.
