Brunicke recorded an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 preseason loss to the Red Wings.

Brunicke will likely play out the upcoming campaign with WHL Kamloops -- the 18-year-old generated 21 points in 49 regular-season contests with the Blazers in 2023-24. The South Africa native was selected in the second round by Pittsburgh in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.

Viro produced an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 2-1 exhibition win against Pittsburgh.

Viro helped out on Amadeus Lombardi's game-tying tally in the second period. Viro was selected in the third round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft by Detroit. The 22-year-old will likely spend the entirety of the upcoming campaign with AHL Grand Rapids.

Chabot (undisclosed) exited Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens for precautionary reasons.

Chabot is the third Senator to exit the game with an injury after Tim Stutzle (upper body) and Brady Tkachuk (upper body) left earlier in the contest. Chabot's precautionary label suggests he's not dealing with anything too serious, though given his injury history, there is at least a little concern. The 27-year-old defenseman should be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's preseason game versus the Red Wings.

Hirose (concussion) made progress Tuesday after being injured in Saturday's exhibition game against Calgary, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Hirose could start the 2024-25 campaign on injured reserve if he doesn't play in Friday's preseason finale. He earned two assists in 33 regular-season contests with AHL Abbotsford in 2023-24.

Fitzgerald was put on waivers Tuesday, according to PuckPedia.

Fitzgerald compiled four goals and 21 points in 69 contests for AHL Hartford during the 2023-24 regular season. The 27-year-old blueliner will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign at the minor-league level.

Scanlin was shifted to waivers Tuesday, per PuckPedia.

Scanlin provided eight goals and eight assists in 64 regular-season contests for AHL Hartford in 2023-24. He also made his NHL debut against Philadelphia on March 26, earning one hit in 10:46 of ice time. The 25-year-old defender will probably spend most of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Solovyov landed on waivers Tuesday, according to PuckPedia.

Solovyov appeared in 10 contests for Calgary in 2023-24, producing three assists and a minus-3 rating. The 24-year-old was a seventh-round selection by the Flames in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The Belarus native will play a major role for AHL Calgary in 2024-25 if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Moverare was put on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Ontario.

Moverare generated two goals and 16 assists in 34 regular-season contests for AHL Ontario in 2023-24. He also had one goal and 23 blocked shots in 24 NHL outings with the Kings during the 2023-24 regular season. If Moverare is not claimed by another team, he may see more playing time with LA in the upcoming campaign.

Kemp was placed on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of assigning him to AHL Bakersfield.

Kemp notched two goals and 15 points in 64 games with AHL Bakersfield during the 2023-24 regular season. He also made his NHL debut versus Montreal on Jan. 13, logging just 2:03 of ice time. Kemp will likely spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Gleason was placed on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Bakersfield.

Gleason collected 10 goals and 32 points across 62 regular-season contests with AHL Bakersfield in 2023-24. The 26-year-old defender hasn't played in the NHL since making four appearances with Dallas in 2018-19. He will probably spend the entire 2024-25 campaign in the minors.
