N. Shore - C

WPG

Shore was claimed off the waiver wire by Winnipeg from Toronto on Wednesday.

Shore served as a healthy scratch in four of the Maple Leafs' previous five outings, though he scored a goal in his lone appearance. It seems the veteran center wasn't going to be in new coach Sheldon Keefe's future plans and will now play for his fourth Canadian team in his five-year NHL career. With the Jets, the Denver native should be in the mix for consistent minutes and could bump David Gustafsson from the lineup ahead of Thursday's clash with Dallas.

C. Dahlstrom - D

VGK

Dahlstrom was picked up off the waiver wire by the Jets from the Blackhawks on Tuesday.

Considering Winnipeg's blue line concerns with Dustin Byfuglien (personal) away from the team, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the club patrolling the waiver wire. The acquisition of Dahlstrom likely ends Tucker Poolman's chances of making the 23-man roster for Opening Night. Given he just joined the team, Dahlstrom figures to serve as a healthy scratch versus the Rangers on Thursday, especially if Sami Niku (groin) is healthy.

E. Comrie - G

WPG

Comrie hit the waiver wire Monday for the purpose of reassignment to the minors, Ken Wiebe of The Athletic reports.

Comrie was never going to make the 23-man roster coming out of training camp, but the netminder figures to get plenty of starts with AHL Manitoba. If starter Connor Hellebuyck or backup Laurent Brossoit picks up an injury, Comrie figures to get the call.

A. Agozzino - F

ANA

Agozzino hit the waiver wire Monday for purpose of reassignment to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Agozzino -- who signed with the club in the offseason -- will start the year in the minors, assuming he clears. The winger racked up 60 points in 56 games with AHL Colorado last year, but was only able to break into the Avalanche lineup for 11 contests. Despite not making the Opening Night roster, the 28-year-old should be atop the Penguins' short list of potential call-ups.

A. Bitetto - D

NYR

Bitetto was snatched off the waiver wire by Minnesota from Nashville on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

At a mere $650,000 cap hit, combined with 114 games of NHL experience, it would have been a shocker to see Bitetto make it through unclaimed, which is likely why the Preds carried eight defensemen this long into the season. The blueliner could slot into the lineup right away after the All-Star break, though the eventual return of Mathew Dumba (pectoral) could see him back up in the press box.

M. McKenna - G

PHI

McKenna was snatched off the waiver wire by the Flyers from the Canucks on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

McKenna will join his third organization in 2019, having been traded from Ottawa to Vancouver on Wednesday. If the netminder gets in a game for Philadelphia, it would set an NHL record for most goaltenders used in a season at seven. Don't be surprised to see McKenna back on waivers down the road, as the team is waiting, perhaps anxiously, for Brian Elliott (lower body) to return.

V. Zykov - F

VGK

Zykov landed on the waiver wire Friday.

Zykov -- who was claimed off waivers by Edmonton in November -- played in just five games for the Oilers -- he averaged a meager 7:08 of ice time and tallied two PIM, a minus-1 rating and two hits. The winger will be shipped down to AHL Bakersfield if he clears, though Carolina could try to get the Russian back in its system.

J. Rutta - D

Rutta landed on the waiver wire Thursday, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

By waiving Rutta and assigning him to the minors (assuming he clears), the Blackhawks have the necessary roster flexibility to activate Gustav Forsling (shoulder). In 23 games this season, the 28-year-old Rutta has tallied six goals, 22 shots and 21 blocks while logging 16:18 of ice time per game. With a cap hit of $2.25 million, there probably aren't many clubs willing to add the Czech to the roster.

J. Dea - F

BUF

Dea will rejoin the Penguins after the club snatched him off the waiver wire Thursday, Jonathan Bombulie of TribLive.com reports.

Since the Penguins were originally trying to move him to the minors, the team will be able to immediately ship Dea to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. In 20 games with the Devils, the center notched five points, six PIM and 19 hits. While Derek Grant should continue to fill the fourth-line center role, the Pens are high on Dea and could give him a look sooner rather than later with Matt Cullen (lower body) sidelined.

Dano will be rejoining the Jets' organization after the club claimed him off the waiver wire.

Dano was put on waivers by the Jets back in mid-October when the Avs snatched him off the wire. Now once again being waived, the winger will rejoin the club that drafted him 27th overall in the 2013 NHL Draft. He was immediately assigned to the minors.

C. Pickard - G

DET

Pickard was snatched up off the waiver wire by the Flyers from the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.

Pickard figures to step into the backup role over Anthony Stolarz while Michal Neuvirth (groin) remains sidelined. What happens to Pickard once Neuvirth is given the green light to return remains to be seen, but he certainly could find himself back on the waiver wire. Long term, the goalie of the future for Philadelphia is Carter Hart, which means Pickard is expendable as soon as the other netminders get healthy.

McElhinney was snagged off the waiver wire by the Hurricanes from the Leafs on Tuesday.

After losing out on the backup job in Toronto, McElhinney figures to immediately slot into the No. 2 role for the Canes, as Scott Darling (lower body) is expected to be out for a couple weeks. Carolina immediately plays a back-to-back to kick off the season, with Friday's clash against McElhinney's former club the Blue Jackets, so don't be surprised to see him get a start right out the gate.

J. MacDonald - D

The Colorado Avalanche won't dress Jacob MacDonald on Thursday night against the St. Louis Blues.

This will be the first time he sits as a healthy scratch since being recalled from the AHL. The 28-year-old has shown he has what it takes to serve as a depth defensemen in the NHL but he has absolutely no fantasy value.

Anderson is currently dealing with soreness in his left side. The 27-year-old third baseman is unlikely to play on Friday as well, according to Craig Mish of Sportsgrid. Anderson should be considered day-to-day, but if he doesn't improve soon he could be headed to the 10-day injured list.

Padres placed RHP Keone Kela on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder tightness.

Kela is one of two San Diego hurlers headed to the IL on Thursday, as the Padres also placed Dinelson Lamet on the shelf with a forearm strain. Kela has appeared in nine games thus far, and he's accumulated a 4.15 ERA with a 12/3 K/BB ratio and 1.269 WHIP over 8 2/3 innings. The former Pirates and Rangers closer will be out at least 10 days, but shoulder injuries often carry a longer time on the shelf. More info on the information as it comes along.
