Minnesota Wild Place A Pair Of Veterans On NHL Waivers

The Minnesota Wild placed defenseman Cameron Crotty and forward Tyler Pitlick on NHL waivers on Monday to assign them to the AHL's Iowa Wild. The roster transactions come as Minnesota anticipates the return of injured players and needs to clear roster spots and stay compliant with the salary cap.

Crotty was previously claimed off waivers from the Ottawa Senators, while Pitlick appeared in 12 NHL games without recording a point this season. The moves allow the Wild to create roster room as defenseman Brock Faber prepares to return from injured reserve.
