Chris Wagner News
Wagner has cleared waivers and been reassigned to the Colorado Eagles (AHL) after being activated off the injured Non-Roster list.

Wagner has yet to appear in 2023-24 for either of Colorado's organizations due to a ruptured Achilles in the offseason but has been reassigned to the Colorado Eagles (AHL) after being activated off the injured Non-Roster list Thursday. The 32-year-old has appeared in one NHL game in each of the last two seasons but will need to spend some time in the minors to get his footing back.
