Scott Wedgewood Placed On Waivers

November 3, 2021 at 1:11 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 4 Comments

The New Jersey Devils have placed Scott Wedgewood on waivers according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. The team activated Mackenzie Blackwood off injured reserve yesterday and no longer require three goaltenders on the roster.

Wedgewood, 29, has played in three games for the Devils this season but allowed nine goals on 75 shots for an .880 save percentage. The minor league veteran has been a strong performer in the past at the minor league level, but shouldn’t be relied on for more than a handful of appearances at the NHL level each season.

There’s perhaps a chance he’s claimed by a team dealing with injury, but Wedgewood doesn’t represent much of an upgrade for most teams around the league. Should he clear, the Devils will likely send him to the minor leagues where he will serve as a part-time option as they continue to develop their younger netminders.

      Won’t happen, if he’s claimed by the leafs they’d have to carry 3 goalies or waive him themselves. If they waive him devils can then reclaim him and send him to AHL without having to clear again

      Why? Leafs don’t need another Hutchinson clone. They’d have to keep him on the club or waive him themselves. Then NJ can just reclaim him and assign him to the AHL. Only team I see making a claim is maybe Arizona.
