Canadiens' Nate Clurman: On waivers for AHL assignment
Rotowire
Clurman was placed on waivers by the Canadiens for the purpose of assignment to AHL Laval, the team announced Sunday.
The 27-year-old signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Canadiens over the summer, and he'll begin his career with Montreal's organization at the AHL level. Clurman got into one game with Pittsburgh last year -- the only NHL action of his career so far. He had 11 points in 31 regular-season outings with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2024-25.

Penguins' Nate Clurman: Called up from minors
Rotowire
Clurman was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.
Clurman's promotion comes as fellow blueliner Marcus Pettersson (lower body) was designated for injured reserve in a corresponding move. Even with his elevation to the NHL roster, the 26-year-old Clurman is unlikely to jump into the lineup immediately versus the Kings on Tuesday. Selected by the Avs in the sixth round of the 2016 NHL Draft, Clurman has yet to log an NHL games, playing exclusively in the AHL and ECHL since leaving Notre Dame after three seasons back in 2020-21.

Penguins' Nate Clurman: Waived Friday
Rotowire
Clurman was placed on waivers by Pittsburgh on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Assuming he clears, Clurman will link up with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for the upcoming 2024-25 campaign. Given his limited offensive upside -- he managed just five points in 37 games with AHL Colorado last year -- it's hard to see the 26-year-old defenseman breaking into the Penguins' lineup this season.
