NHL Player News

Kiersted was waived by Florida on Saturday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Kiersted collected four goals, 15 points and 53 PIM in 57 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. The 26-year-old defenseman didn't log any games at the NHL level last season and might spend all of the upcoming campaign in the minors as well.

Petrovic was put on waivers Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Petrovic collected five goals and 22 points in 70 regular-season appearances with AHL Texas in 2023-24. He will likely spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

The Stars put Capobianco on waivers Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Capobianco recorded 12 goals, 54 points and 46 PIM in 69 regular-season AHL contests with Manitoba in 2023-24. He's a veteran of 73 career regular-season NHL outings, but the 27-year-old didn't play at all at the top level last campaign.

Hunt was placed on waivers by the Wild on Saturday.

In the 2023-24 regular season, Hunt recorded three goals and 29 points in 51 contests with AHL Iowa. He also had an assist in 12 NHL appearances with Minnesota. The 22-year-old is expected to start the campaign in the AHL if he clears waivers, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him summoned to Minnesota at some point during the 2024-25 campaign.

Colorado claimed Ludvig off waivers from Pittsburgh on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Ludvig played 33 regular-season games with the Penguins in 2023-24, picking up three goals and a pair of assists. However, he spent most of his first NHL campaign in the press box as a healthy scratch. Ludvig was likely acquired to be a depth defenseman for the Avalanche in 2024-25.

Mahura was placed on waivers Saturday.

Mahura produced nine assists, 25 shots on goal, 27 blocked shots and 40 hits in 30 games with Florida during the 2023-24 regular season. If he doesn't get claimed off waivers by another team, he could start the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Coachella Valley.

Regula (knee) won't play in Boston's preseason finale against Washington on Saturday.

Regula didn't see any game action during the exhibition schedule following offseason knee surgery. If he doesn't get assigned to AHL Providence for the start of the 2024-25 campaign, the 24-year-old defender may be placed on season-opening injured reserve.

Roos was sent to AHL Belleville on Saturday.

Roos has played in 21 regular-season games over the last two seasons with Chicago. He inked a one-year, two-way contract with the Senators in the offseason and could see some time in the NHL this season.

The Senators released Addison from his PTO on Saturday.

Addison was once highly regarded as an offensive force from the back end. He had three goals and 29 points, including 18 assists on the power play, in 62 regular-season games in 2022-23 for Minnesota. Unfortunately, Addison has fallen, managing only a goal and 16 helpers in 72 regular-season appearances between the Wild and Sharks in 2023-24. He will try to catch on somewhere, but he could spend the 2024-25 season in the minors.

McCabe (upper body) won't be in Saturday's lineup versus Detroit.

McCabe could be questionable for Opening Night on Wednesday in Montreal. The solid defenseman had a career-best eight goals and 28 points in 73 regular-season games in 2023-24. McCabe also registered 219 hits and 129 blocked shots.
