Lightning Place 8-Year NHL Veteran Forward On Waivers

The Tampa Bay Lightning have placed veteran forward Jansen Harkins on waivers, according to PuckPedia. The move comes shortly after the eight-year NHL veteran made his debut for the Lightning on October 1 against the New York Rangers. Other teams in the league now have the opportunity to claim Harkins off waivers.

Harkins signed a one-year, two-way contract with Tampa Bay during the off-season. If he clears waivers unclaimed, the Lightning will have the option to assign the forward to their American Hockey League affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch.
