Joonas Lyytinen: Set to be released
Lyytinen was unconditionally waived by the Predators on Friday for the purpose of terminating his contract, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Lyytinen has spent time in both the AHL and ECHL this season and has just five points in 24 combined minor-league games.
