Kraken claim goaltender off waivers from Ottawa; Vegas places netminder on the wire
According to TSN's Chris Johnston, the Seattle Kraken have claimed goaltender Magnus Hellberg off waivers from the Ottawa Senators.
The Uppsala (Sweden) native was claimed off waivers by Ottawa from Seattle 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.
After spending the last five seasons in the KHL, other than one appearance for Detroit last year, Hellberg signed a one-year contract with Seattle during the summer.
