Flames' Yan Kuznetsov: Waived by team

Kuznetsov was placed on waivers by the Flames on Tuesday.

Kuznetsov played in one NHL game in which he saw 11:58 of ice time against Ottawa on Jan. 9, 2024. Last season, the 23-year-old blueliner was unable to break into the NHL roster, featuring exclusively for AHL Calgary while tallying six goals and 15 helpers in 72 regular-season contests. Assuming he clears waivers, Kuznetsov figures to spend the bulk of the upcoming campaign with the Wranglers but should be able to earn a call-up or two along the way.
