Trio of players hit the waiver wire on November 9th
According to Chris Johnston of TSN, a trio of players have hit the waiver wire for Wednesday, November 9th. Those players are, Mike Reilly of the Boston Bruins, as well as Nikita Zaitsev and Magnus Hellberg, both of the Ottawa Senators.
Reilly, 29, has appeared in ten games this season for the Bruins, recording one assist, two penalty minutes and has an even-rating. The most likely reason for Reilly being on waivers on Wednesday is that Charlie McAvoy is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday night.
Zaitsev, 31, is on waivers for the first time in his NHL career and has never played in the American Hockey League. In seven games for the Senators, the Moscow native has one assist, six penalty minutes and is a minus-three.
Hellberg, a native of Uppsala (Sweden), was claimed off waivers just before the start of the 2022-23 season due to Cam Talbot being injured. In one game this season, the 31-year-old has one win, a 2.00 GAA and a .935 save percentage.
If they all clear on Thursday at 2 p.m. ET, Reilly will be assigned to the Providence Bruins, while Zaitsev and Hellberg will go to the Belleville Senators.
Placed on NHL waivers today: Mike Reilly (BOS), Nikita Zaitsev (OTT) and Magnus Hellberg (OTT).— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) November 9, 2022
