Ducks' Ben Street: Stays put after clearing waivers

Street proved to be a dependable injury filler to start the season, as he picked up three goals and five points to complement a plus-2 rating over the first eight games, but the B.C. native was held pointless with a minus-6 value in 10 subsequent contests. Street is at his best when his role is clearly defined, but that hasn't been the case lately.

Ducks' Ben Street: Back on waivers

After being placed on waivers Oct. 31, Street stayed up in the NHL long enough to require he go back on waivers in order to move him down to the minors. The natural center has appeared in just one of the team's last nine contests, in which he tallied one shot and one block in 11:23 of ice time. By demoting Street, the club has room on the roster to potentially activate Hampus Lindholm (lower body) off injured reserve.

Ducks' Ben Street: Sticks with big club

The Ducks placed Street on waivers Wednesday, but evidently decided to keep him on the active roster for Thursday's contest. Street will slot into a bottom-six role against New York.

Ducks' Ben Street: Hits waivers

Street's placement on waivers likely signifies that at least one of the Ducks' numerous injured forwards will be ready to retake the ice Thursday against the Rangers. The veteran has performed rather well in his brief stay with Anaheim, logging five points -- three goals and two assists -- in addition to 11 hits and six blocked shots over 12 games. If he winds up unclaimed through waivers, Street would presumably be headed back to AHL San Diego.

Ducks' Ben Street: Resurgence continues with clutch goal

Defenseman Josh Manson rifled a shot from the point that Street was able to get some lumber on for his second career goal. Just when we thought Street's career was at a dead end -- he'd been scoreless over 35 career games between three different NHL clubs ahead of this season -- the 31-year-old center has made the uphill climb toward a meaningful fourth-line role with the Ducks. Street is up to three points through six games, and he should continue to see action at the top level since Anaheim is currently dealing with injuries to seven of its forwards.
