Kearns was waived by the Devils on Tuesday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
Kearns spent most of his 2016-17 with AHL Bridgeport in the Islanders' organization last season. At least in the lower ranks, he's proven that he can be a dual threat in the scoring and assist columns: He produced 23 goals, 28 assists and a robust plus-16 rating with the Sound Tigers in 2016-17. However, he only got into two games with the big club. Expect the lefty-shooting center to report to AHL Albany in the likely event that he clears waivers.
