All Player Alarms WIN ALL SEASON LONG

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.

N/A

C. Dahlstrom - D

WPG

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.

N/A

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.

Added Sep 30 11:53 am (EST)

N/A

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.

Added Sep 23 12:31 pm (EST)

N/A

A. Bitetto - D

WPG

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.

N/A

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.

Added Dec 28 12:46 pm (EST)

Rotowire

N/A

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.

N/A

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.

N/A

M. Dano - F

CBJ

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.

Added Nov 23 12:28 pm (EST)

N/A

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.

Rotowire

N/A

C. McElhinney - G

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.

R. McIlroy - G

The top five players in the world will all tee it up next week at the Charles Schwab Challenge, including the world No. 1 in his Colonial debut.

Nearly three months after The Players was canceled, many of the PGA Tour's biggest names are heading to the Lone Star State. That includes McIlroy, who reeled off seven straight top-5 finishes before the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the four players closest to him in the world rankings: Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas and Dustin Johnson. Also making the trip to Fort Worth are defending champ Kevin Na as well as recent winners Jordan Spieth, Kevin Kisner and Justin Rose. Early projections show up to 72 OWGR points to the winner, which would be a high water mark for one of the Tour's most historic events. The Colonial field was expanded from 120 to 144 because of coronavirus, but the inclusion of four winners from before 2000 (Keith Clearwater, David Frost, Tom Lehman and Olin Browne) means that a total of 148 players will tee it up next week as the Tour returns to competition.

P. Cantlay - G

An announcement from Ohio governor Mike DeWine has paved the way for the Memorial Tournament to be the first PGA Tour event with fans on-site since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Muirfield Village will host a pair of Tour events next month, but only the second half of that doubleheader will include spectators. Tournament officials plan to release details next week regarding fan protocols for the July 16-19 event, where Patrick Cantlay will defend his title against a field of 120 players. The PGA Tour had previously committed to holding its first four events without fans present, and the new 156-man tournament at Muirfield Village that will replace the John Deere Classic July 9-12 will also be played behind closed doors. DeWine's announcement also paved the way for the LPGA's Marathon Classic to plan for fans in late July in Toledo.

K. Irving - PG

BKN

Kyrie Irving (right shoulder) could join the Nets in Orlando as an inactive player, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com.

Back when he had surgery in March, he had a six-month timetable, so there was really no shot that Irving would be able to make it back out there in 2019-20 unless the NBA really had to push the return back. He should have plenty of time to recover for the start of the 2020-21 season, but it'll be Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert handling the ball when the 2019-20 Nets get another chance to play.

K. Durant - SF

Kevin Durant (right Achilles) confirmed that he will not play in the 2019-20 season.

"My season is over," KD said. Excluding GM Sean Marks saying in early May that KD could return in 2019-20, the majority of reports have said he is not going to be out there. KD tore his Achilles about a year ago, but he should be close to a full go for the 2020-21 season. Without KD when the NBA comes back in eight weeks, that means more work for Caris LeVert, who was on fire just before the NBA went on hiatus. In 2020-21, KD will be an option as a top-10 pick.

Atlanta Motor Speedway is renaming one of its grandstands to honor the legacy of 7-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson.

Starting with this weekend’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500, what used to be known as the Winners Grandstand will now be the Johnson Grandstand. With the newly christened grandstand, Johnson will join fellow 7-time champions Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt as NASCAR drivers whose legends are immortalized at AMS. In addition to having an entire grandstand named in his honor, Johnson will also kick off his final start at Atlanta Motor Speedway as a full-time NASCAR Cup Series driver by giving the command to start engines on Sunday, June 7.— Atlanta Motor Speedway (courtesy of jayski.com)

K. Oubre - SF

PHX

Suns owner Robert Sarver said he expects Kelly Oubre (right knee) can play when the Suns return to play for 2019-20.

He tore his meniscus in February and needed surgery in early March. Surgery on a meniscus usually requires 4-8 weeks off, so Oubre has received plenty of time to recover. Although, this is certainly a different case with players not having the proper rehab protocol due to COVID-19, so Oubre will likely have some minutes limits on him. This shouldn't really affect Mikal Bridges much, but Cam Johnson would lose playing time.

President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman said the Magic do not expect Jonathan Isaac (left knee) to play in 2019-20, but will let his rehab dictate his timetable.

"That's no different than it ever was, but I'm saying we don't expect him to be back," Weltman said. It's been a lengthy rehab for Isaac since he hurt his knee on the first day of 2020, and his rehab is taking a little longer than expected since he didn't need surgery. When the Magic get going again, this could help James Ennis get more playing time.

Seranthony Dominguez has arrived in the United States and will soon undergo Tommy John surgery.

Dominguez was recommended for the reconstructive elbow procedure way back in March, but he struggled through "weeks of failed attempts to depart his home in the Dominican Republic amid the coronavirus pandemic," per Matt Gelb of The Athletic. The delay will likely push his rehab into late 2021.
