Blackhawks' Andreas Athanasiou: Going on waivers

Athanasiou will be placed on waivers Monday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Athanasiou has been a healthy scratch for nine straight games. He hasn't earned a point in five appearances while contributing six shots on goal, four blocked shots and five hits this season. Athanasiou's $4.25 million cap hit for 2024-25 will likely scare away teams from claiming him, meaning he could be ticketed for AHL Rockford if he clears waivers.
