Fraser has three goals and a minus-5 rating in 24 games this season. They placed him on waivers in order to make room to recall Jordan Caron.

Roy has served as a healthy scratch in the last three games and has now been placed on waivers. He has 10 points (1G / 9A) in 26 games this season. It would be surprising if a team like Edmonton or another team in need of a veteran pivot does not claim Roy.

Stalberg has not played since October 25th because of a lower-body injury. Since signing a four-year, $12 million contract prior to the 2013-14 season, Stalberg has just eight goals and 10 assists (18 points) in 75 games with the Predators.

LaBarbera has not played since returning from a hand injury, so he has been placed on waivers with the intent of sending him to the AHL. Ilya Bryzgalov has been recalled from his conditioning stint, effectively ending LaBarbera’s run with the Ducks.

Nestrasil, 23, was the Red Wings third-round pick in 2009. He had two assists in 13 games with Detroit this season. He was also a member of the Calder Cup Champion Grand Rapids Griffins in 2013.

Connauton, 24, was Vancouver’s third pick, 83rd overall, in the 2009 NHL Draft. He has registered one goal and nine assists for 10 points with 22 penalty minutes in 44 career NHL games, all during the past two seasons with the Stars. He has collected 0-2-2 with six penalty minutes and is +4 in eight games this season.

Harding broke his foot in the offseason and was suspended by the team thereafter. Stay tuned to see if he is claimed by another team or simply sent down to the minors.

Schlemko had 1 point in 7 games this season for Arizona.

Schlemko has 1 assist in 7 games this season

If Kostka clears waivers, he would report to the Hartford Wolf Pack.

Bourque has just two assists with a minus-9 rating in 13 games this season. He served as a healthy scratch in the Canadiens last two games, before being placed on waivers on Sunday. He carries a $3.33M cap hit (per nhlnumbers.com), which likely played a huge factor in why he was not claimed by another team.

Malone was placed on waivers on Sunday with the intention of sending him to the AHL. Now that he has cleared, he can be sent down at any time, but with Mats Zuccarello listed as a game-time decision, there is a good chance Malone will stay with the team for tonight's game.

Cuminsky, 27, had a strong training camp and stuck with the Blackhawks, but could not crack the lineup in the early going. He will head to the AHL for the first time since 2011-12, he spent the last two years in Sweden.

Panik, 23, was the Lightning's second round pick (53rd overall) in 2009. He has a lot of skill and upside, but could't find his way in Tampa, posting just eight goals and 14 assists (22 points) in 75 career games. A year ago I don't think the Maple Leafs make this claim, but with a new direction and focus on scoring goals and puck possession, Panik seems to fit their future plans.

Cracknell, 29, played 19 games with the Blues last season. He recorded two assists, zero PIMs and an even plus/minus rating. Claiming the 6-foot-1, 216 lbs. forward forced the Blue Jackets to put Brandon Dubinsky (lower-body) on injured reserve. Cracknell will now compete for playing time with a number of young Jackets' players.

After being acquired from the Canadiens, the Jets placed Budaj on waivers, now that he has cleared he will be the starter in St. John's. He is an excellent insurance policy for Ondrej Pavelec and Michael Hutchinson.

The Jets traded Eric Tangradi to the Canadiens for Budaj and minor-leaguer Patrick Holland on Sunday, but the Jets must be content with the duo of Ondrej Pavelec and Michael Hutchinson to start the season. Winnipeg is hoping that Budaj will clear waivers so he can stay in their system. The 32-year-old netminder was 10-8-3 with a 2.51 GAA and .909 SV% as Carey Price's backup last season. He had fallen behind Dustin Tokarski on the Habs' depth chart, thus making him expendable.

After spending the first five seasons of his NHL career with Minnesota, Prosser, 28, signed with the Blues this offseason, but will start the season in the AHL if he clears waivers.

Mueller, 26, was attempting to make an NHL comeback after spending last season in Switzerland. Mueller clearly did not have a good enough training camp to stick on a deep Blues roster, but he may be claimed by another NHL team.

Markstrom, 24, was acquired in the trade that sent Roberto Luongo to the Florida Panthers last March. He was 2-8-3 with a 3.39 GAA and .873 SV% between the Panthers and Canucks last season. Markstrom was once considered the NHL's top goaltending prospect and will likely be claimed by another team. He has just one year with a $1.2 million cap-hit left on his contract, making him a relatively low-risk add.
