The Canadiens will put Ben Scrivens on waivers.

The Canadiens signed Charlie Lindgren to a two-year contract to finish the season out with the Canadiens. With his signing, Montreal had to make room on the roster, so they have placed Ben Scrivens on waivers. Scrivens was 5-8-0 with a 3.07 GAA and .906 SV% in 15 games since being acquired from Edmonton.

The Oilers have claimed Adam Cracknell off of waivers from Vancouver.

Benoit Pouliot is out long-term with a shoulder injury, so the Oilers went out and picked up another big body off of the waiver wire. The 30-year-old is 6-foot-2, 210 lbs. and has 10 points (5G / 5A) in 44 games with the Canucks this season.

The Oilers have claimed Adam Pardy off of waivers from Winnipeg.

Pardy has only appeared in 14 games with the Jets this season and was placed on waivers on Sunday. Pardy offers blueline depth for the Oilers, who will likely send some of their young defensemen to the AHL to get some extra conditioning before the 2016-17 season.

The Ducks have claimed Chris Wagner off of waivers from Colorado.

Wagner, 24, was a fifth round pick of the Ducks in 2010 and was with the Ducks’ organization from 2012-16 before being claimed off of waivers by the Avalanche in October. He now returns to Anaheim, where he will head to Norfolk (AHL).

The Avalanche have placed Brandon Gormley on waivers.

Gormley was a healthy scratch in the last two games and has been placed on waivers after just 26 games with the Avalanche. He has just one assist on the season and his placement on IR suggests that Andrew Bodnarchuk will remain with the Avalanche. The former 13th overall pick will likely be claimed off of waivers.

The Blue Jackets have placed Andrew Bodnarchuk on waivers.

Bodnarchuk appeared in 16 games with the Blue Jackets when their blueline was battling injury issues, but he has been a healthy scratch in the last three games and with David Savard back, Bodnarchuk finds himself on waivers for purpose of assignment.

The Canadiens have placed Zack Kassian on waivers.

Kassian who has not played yet this season after being entered into the Substance Abuse program in the preseason has been placed on waivers for purpose of assignment to the AHL. The former 1st round pick has not lived up to expectations, but a team in need of a big body, that believes in second chances, could elect to take a flier on Kassian.
