Overview
- All three cleared waivers Friday, per Elliotte Friedman, allowing AHL assignments before the roster freeze begins early Saturday.
- Philadelphia can send Egor Zamula to Lehigh Valley after 13 NHL games this season, and burying his $1.7 million cap hit would reduce the charge by $1.15 million.
- Zamula slipped down the Flyers’ depth chart with Rasmus Ristolainen healthy, Noah Juulsen entrenched as the seventh defender and Ty Murchison viewed as the preferred recall.
- Calgary can return Dryden Hunt to the Wranglers after limited NHL use this year, as he has 18 points in 16 AHL games and can be recalled on emergency if injuries strike during the freeze.
- Minnesota’s Ben Jones remains scoreless through 19 games this season and 47 in his NHL career, and he is eligible to be assigned to Iowa.
