Silovs was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Thursday.
With Thatcher Demko serving as the backup against Washington on Wednesday, Silovs' services were no longer needed in the NHL. The 23-year-old netminder will return to the minors where he is 2-3-0 with a .900 save percentage in five outings. If Demko or Kevin Lankinen picks up another injury at some point this year, Silovs figures to return to the NHL roster.
