Blue Jackets Place Veteran Defenseman On Waivers After Win Over Flyers

The Columbus Blue Jackets have placed veteran defenseman Carson Soucy on waivers following their 4-3 overtime victory against the Philadelphia Flyers. Soucy joined the team ahead of the 2026-27 season on a one-year, $1.15 million contract after initially attending training camp on a professional tryout agreement.

If Soucy clears waivers without being claimed by another NHL team, Columbus can assign him to their AHL affiliate, the Cleveland Monsters. In seven games this season, Soucy recorded one assist, 17 hits, and a minus-5 rating.
