Maple Leafs' Matt Benning: Waived by Toronto

Benning was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs on Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Benning made some appearances with the Sharks early in the 2024-25 campaign, but he played exclusively for AHL Toronto after being dealt to the Maple Leafs in early November. He'll presumably head back to the AHL if he clears waivers, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him spend most of this season in the minors.
