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.

Clurman was sent to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday, per Wes Crosby of NHL.com.
Clurman was also reassigned to the minors Thursday only to be recalled Friday, so it's entirely possible this is another paper transaction. Clurman has been serving primarily as the Penguins' seventh defenseman because Kris Letang (undisclosed) and Owen Pickering (concussion) are on the shelf.

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.
