Tomasino, 23, has appeared in 11 games with the Predators this season, recording one assist while averaging 11:18 of ice time.
The 6-foot centre signed a one-year, $825,000 deal with the Predators during training camp.

The Mississauga, Ont. native represented Canada at the 2021 World Juniors in Edmonton, recording four goals and six points to take home a silver medal.
The trade comes with both team struggling to start the season. The Predators, who had high expectations after an off-season of heavy spending, have a 7-11-3 record, sitting second-last in the Central Division.
The Penguins currently sit last in the Metropolitan Division at 7-12-4 and are on pace to miss the playoffs for a third straight season.
