Crotty was claimed off waivers by Minnesota from Ottawa on Thursday, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.
Crotty has no points, two hits and one block in three appearances with Ottawa in 2026-27. He appeared in just one of Ottawa's past 10 games before the Senators placed him on waivers, though Crotty also missed some time during that stretch due to an illness. Jared Spurgeon (undisclosed) is week-to-week, and Brock Faber (skull) might be a few days from skating, so Crotty provides the Wild with some extra defensive depth. However, there's no guarantee Crotty will draw into the lineup even while Faber and Spurgeon are unavailable.

Senators' Cameron Crotty: Secures two-way deal
Rotowire
Crotty inked a two-year, two-way contract with Ottawa on Monday.
Crotty saw action in just one NHL game last year for the Wild, posting a minus-1 rating in 5:08 of ice time. The 26-year-old blueliner wasn't significantly more productive in the minors, recording 10 assists but zero goals in 64 games with AHL Iowa. He figures to play the bulk of his upcoming minutes in the minors and is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value moving forward.

Crotty was summoned under emergency conditions from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
Crotty has eight assists and 47 PIM in 56 outings with Iowa in 2024-25. Defensemen Jonas Brodin (lower body) and Declan Chisholm (undisclosed) are questionable Tuesday versus Vegas, so Crotty might draw into Minnesota's lineup for the first time this season.

Wild's Cameron Crotty: Signs two-way contract
Rotowire
Crotty signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Wild on Monday.
Crotty made his NHL debut for the Coyotes last season, logging 10:03 of ice time in a 4-2 win over Dallas on March 24. The 25-year-old blueliner didn't record a point but dished out four hits to go with two blocked shots.

Coyotes' Cameron Crotty: Returned to minors
Rotowire
Crotty was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Monday.

In his NHL debut Sunday, the 24-year-old Crotty recorded four this, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating in 10:03 of ice time. In the minors, the Ottawa native has managed just 12 points in 45 contests, so don't expect him to offer much in the way of fantasy value moving forward if he gets another call-up.
