Overview

• Five players were placed on waivers: Ryan Graves, Alexander Alexeyev, Rafael Harvey-Pinard, Boko Imama and Sam Poulin.
• Prospects Tristan Broz, Avery Hayes, Owen Pickering and Sergei Murashov were assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s training camp.
• Veteran forward Robby Fabbri was released from his professional tryout.
• Injured-reserve moves for Bryan Rust, Kevin Hayes and Rutger McGroarty helped finalize the roster at the 23-player limit.
• Graves, who signed a six-year, $27 million deal in 2023 and has four years left after a decline in role and production, became expendable following additions Connor Clifton and Mathew Dumba and a strong camp from prospect Harrison Brunicke, with reports expecting him to clear waivers and be assigned to the AHL on Sunday.
