Penguins' Will Butcher: Hits waivers

Butcher (undisclosed) was placed on waivers Tuesday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Butcher appears to be ready for game action after starting the season on the injured non-roster list. If he goes unclaimed, he will probably report to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. The 28-year-old blueliner produced six goals and 43 points in 65 minor-league contests with Texas last season.
