Hurricanes' Kyle Wood: Waived for assignment

The Devils waived Wood for the purpose of assignment to AHL Binghamton on Monday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Wood spent last year with AHL San Jose, recording 35 points and 47 PIM in 68 games. The 23-year-old was a long shot to make the big club's roster anyway after the addition of Jake Gardiner, but he could be recalled if the Hurricanes' blue line runs into the injury bug.
