Canadiens' Christian Folin: Waived by team

The Canadiens placed Folin on waivers Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Folin had played just five games with the Canadiens this season, registering one assist, so this news isn't quite surprising. The 28-year-old seemed to fall out of favor with the Habs coaching staff, and will look to jump start his season in the minors, assuming he clears. He has 43 points in 233 career NHL games, so this news likely won't have a big impact from a fantasy perspective.
