NHL Hockey Player News
Wagner failed to record a point in 11 games with the Ducks this season, but had two points (1G / 1A) in three contests with San Diego (AHL). Wagner will stay with the Avalanche and could make his Avs’ debut as soon as Tuesday.
Clune has been a healthy scratch for the last two games and has been placed on waivers with Scott Harrington and eventually Jonathan Bernier coming back from IR.
Jackman has been a healthy scratch in the last two games and has only appeared in two games all season. Placing him on IR creates a roster spot for the Ducks to recall a forward on Tuesday.
Arcobello has yet to record a point in seven games with the Maple Leafs this season. He was placed on waivers multiple time last season, so this is nothing new for Arcobello. If he goes unclaimed, expect him to be assigned to Toronto (AHL).
Farnham has no points in three games with the Penguins this season. In those games he averaged just 6:41 TOI, he should get a bigger role with the Devils.
Poulin served as Ben Bishop’s backup for the first eight games of the season. He was placed on waivers this afternoon because Kristers Gudlevskis will start tonight and Andrei Vasilevskiy is nearing a return from a blood clot.
Ramo was pulled after allowing four goals on 14 shots last night and has posted a 4.38 GAA and .879 SV% in three starts this season. The Flames opening night starter has been placed on waivers and will either be claimed by another team or be sent to Stockton (AHL). The Flames were already carrying three goalies, so with Ramo now out of the picture they will turn to the duo of Jonas Hiller and Joni Ortio.
Glass has served as a healthy scratch in the last three games and has been placed on waivers likely with the intent of sending him to Hartford (AHL).
Collins was a minus-1 while averaged 8:32 TOI in his first two games with the Capitals. Collins has been placed on waivers with the intent to send him to Hershey (AHL). Once he is sent down, the Capitals are expected to recall another forward.
Donovan has been a healthy scratch in the Sabres first three games and they have placed him on waivers with the intent of sending him to Rochester.
Tarnasky has not played in the NHL since 2009-10 and had ousted five points (1G / 4A) in 26 AHL games last season, suggesting he won’t be claimed on waivers.
Schultz was a minus-1 with one shot on goal in 18:15 in the season opener, but was a healthy scratch on Friday. Schultz will likely go unclaimed and could be sent to Manchester (AHL).
Irwin signed a one-year deal with the Bruins this offseason but has struggled through the first two games of the season. Irwin is a minus-5 while averaging 14:56 TOI. It wouldn’t be surprising if Irwin is claimed by another team--he had 19 points (8G / 11A) in 53 games with San Jose last year.
Scott is not fantasy relevant having scored just three goals and one assist in 38 games with the Sharks last season. He will likely go unclaimed and be sent to the AHL.
It was a bit surprising when the Red Wings re-signed Cleary this offseason considering they have so many young forwards who were on the brink of cracking the NHL roster. So, it is no surprise to see him get waived. Don’t be surprised if he buddy Mike Babcock and the Maple Leafs claim him.
Panik, 24, had 11 goals and six assists (17 points) in 76 games with the Maple Leafs last season. Toronto brought in a tonne of depth pieces this offseason which continuously push Panik down the depth chart, to the point where he has been placed on waivers with the intention of sending him to the minors.
Corrado, 22, had one goal in 10 games with the Canucks last season and 16 points (7G / 9A) in 35 games with their AHL affiliate in Utica. Corrado is a strong puck-moving defenseman who should spend the year in the NHL after being claimed by the rebuilding Maple Leafs.
Byron, 26, has been a nice depth piece for the Flames over the last few seasons, but after Zack Kassian was suspended indefinitely on Monday, the Habs claimed Byron from Calgary. Byron had six goals and 13 assists (19 points) in 57 games with the Flames last season.
Berube, 24, was claimed by the Islanders as insurance for Jaroslav Halak, who has been battling injury during the preseason. The 24-year-old net minder had an outstanding 37-9-4 with a 2.18 GAA and .913 SV% in 52 games with Manchester (AHL) last season.
