Friedman also added that New York Rangers forward Dryden Hunt and Vancouver Canucks forward Phillip Di Giuseppe have been placed on Wednesday's waiver wire. If they clear waivers on Thursday at 2 p.m. ET, they'll be assigned to their respective American Hockey League clubs.

Hunt, 26, has appeared in three games for the Rangers this season, tallying one goal, two penalty minutes and is a minus-one.

Di Giuseppe, 29, was placed on injured reserve on October 10th and was expected to miss multiple weeks with a lower-body injury. The Toronto native spent the 2021-22 season in the AHL with Vancouver's affiliate in Abbotsford, recording 36 points in 42 games.
