Milwaukee, WI - Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced Thursday that the club has acquired defenseman Patrick Mullen from the Ottawa Senators for defenseman Conor Allen.

Mullen is in his seventh professional season, having posted 16 points (1g-15a) and 18 penalty minutes in 36 American Hockey League games for the Binghamton Senators. A native of Pittsburgh, Pa., the 5-foot-11, 186-pound blueliner has suited up for 338 AHL games for Manchester, Chicago, Utica and Binghamton since 2009, amassing 148 points (34g-114a) and 178 penalty minutes. Mullen's best pro season came in 2011-12, when he tied for fourth among AHL defensemen in goals (13) and tied for 11th in blueliner points (41) while playing for the Monarchs.

Undrafted, Mullen spent four seasons at Denver University from 2005-09, recording 81 points (20g-61a) and 148 penalty minutes in 152 NCAA games, winning a WCHA title in 2008 and being named to the conference's all-academic team in 2009. He is the son of Hockey Hall of Famer Joe Mullen.

Allen tallied a goal and five assists in 31 games for the Admirals this season.

Mullen will meet the Admirals in San Antonio, where they are set to play a pair of games against the Rampage on Friday and Saturday night. Milwaukee doesn't return to the BMOHBC until Saturday, January 30th when they host the Grand Rapids Griffins at 7 pm.
