Kings Place Defenseman Kyle Burroughs on Waivers After Injury Return

The move addresses a full 23-man roster with the veteran cleared after an upper-body injury.

Overview

  • Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman first reported the waiver placement on Saturday.
  • Burroughs began the season on injured reserve after a preseason shot block and has progressed to full-contact practice.
  • Roster pressure at the 23-player limit prompted Los Angeles to expose the defenseman to waivers.
  • If unclaimed by roughly Sunday 1 p.m. CT, he can be assigned to AHL Ontario, which would clear his $1.1 million cap hit.
  • The 30-year-old is in the final season of a three-year deal and logged 33 games for the Kings last season with three assists.
