Canadiens' Jordan Weal: Hits waiver wire

The Canadiens placed Weal on waivers Sunday, Matt Cudzinowski of the Canadiens' official site reports.

Weal now becomes a candidate for Montreal's taxi squad if he goes unclaimed. The 28-year-old forward spent all of last season with Montreal and had eight goals and seven assists over 49 games. If he goes unclaimed, Weal is expected to be a member of the taxi squad.
