The Nashville Predators have re-signed goaltender Chris Mason to a two-year deal worth a total of $2.5 million.

Mason, 30, played a career-high 23 games for the Predators in 2005-2006, posting a 12-5-1 record along with a 2.54 goals against average and .913 save percentage.

With starter Tomas Vokoun suffering a blood disorder just before the playoffs began, Mason was thrust into the starting role for the postseason. In the first-round loss to San Jose, Mason had a 3.44 goals against average and .901 save percentage.

Nashville originally claimed Mason in the 2003 NHL waiver draft from the Florida Panthers.
