Zach Dean Placed on Waivers by St. Louis Blues for AHL Assignment

The St. Louis Blues have placed 23-year-old forward Zach Dean on waivers with the intention of assigning him to the AHL's Springfield Thunderbirds. Despite making the opening night roster out of training camp, the former 2021 first-round pick went scoreless while averaging 9:58 of ice time in three NHL appearances. With Alexey Toropchenko nearing a return from injury, Dean will return to the AHL if he clears waivers.
