The Coyotes have claimed Mark Arcobello off of waivers from Pittsburgh.

Arcobello will head to his fourth team in five months. Lets hope he has not been unpacking his bags, because he has went from Edmonton to Nashville to Pittsburgh and now to Arizona. Overall he has 15 points (8G / 7A) in 50 games between those teams.

The Lightning placed Evgeni Nabokov on waivers on Sunday.

Nabokov signed with the Lightning in the offseason, but has not played well, going 3-6-2 with a 3.14 GAA and .882 SV%. Andrei Vasilsevskiy has performed well at both levels, so the Lightning will move Nabby and Vasilevskiy will serve as the backup to Ben Bishop.

The Jets have placed T.J Galiardi on waivers.

Galiardi has bounced in an out of the lineup this season. He has served as a healthy scratch in six of the last eight games and has just one goal in 26 games this season. He has been placed on waivers with the intention of sending him to St. John’s (AHL).

Greening has cleared waivers; expected to be assigned to Binghamtom (AHL).

Greening, 28, has just one goal in 20 games with the Senators this season. It looks like he is heading to the AHL for the first time since 2010-11, after spending the last four years with the Sens.

Mike Richards has cleared waivers; eligible to be assigned to Manchester (AHL).

Richards has never played an AHL game, but could be headed there now. If he is assigned to Manchester the Kings will get $925K of cap-relief, meaning Richards would represent $4.825M of dead cap space. The Kings will continue to explore trade options.

The Kings have placed Mike Richards on waivers.

Richards, 29, has fallen a long way since being drafted 24th overall in 2003. He has a career-high of 80 points in 2008-09, but has registered just five goals and 10 assists (15 points) in 47 games this season. The Kings have reportedly tried trading Richards as of late, but the last trade fell through last night. If someone elects to claim him, he comes with a $5.75 million US cap-hit.

Arcobello, who was originally traded to Nashville from Edmonton for Derek Roy, was placed on waivers yesterday and claimed by Pittsburgh this afternoon.

The Coyotes have placed Chris Summers on waivers.

Summers, 26, has registered three assists in 14 games with the Coyotes this season. If he clears waivers, he will be sent to Portland (AHL) where he had nine points (2G / 7A) in 48 games last year.

The Hurricanes placed Michal Jordan on waivers.

Jordan, 24, is a solid offensive defenseman who has seen power-play time with the Hurricanes, but has failed to record a point in 16 games since his recall. If he clears waivers he will be sent to Charlotte (AHL), where he has two goals and five assists in 15 games.

The Hurricanes placed Zach Boychuk on waivers.

Boychuk, 25, is a former first-round pick (14th overall in 2008) but hasn’t panned out as the Hurricanes would have hoped. He has six points (3G / 3A) in 31 games this season, so they have placed him on waiver with the intent of sending him to Charlotte.

The Jets have placed Julien Brouillette on waivers.

Winnipeg has placed Brouillette on waivers with the intent to send him down to St. John’s. This move is likely good news on the injury front. Zach Bogosian has been practicing as of late and appears close to a return. Brouillette’s return to the AHL would make way for Bogosian to return tomorrow night in Arizona.
