Doesn’t clear waivers, gone to Tampa Bay
Today the Canucks’ Matt Pettinger was claimed off waivers by the Tampa Bay Lightning, meaning the Canucks have lost him and have another hole to fill for tonight’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Canucks will be required to pay half of Pettinger’s one million dollar salary, and it will count against the Canucks salary cap. The Canucks will be short a forward for tonight’s game but it is expected that defenceman Rob Davison will plug one of those holes. Also, Canucks forward Kyle Wellwood has cleared waivers and will play in tonights game.
