Tyler Pitlick Placed on Waivers by Minnesota Wild

The Minnesota Wild placed 35-year-old forward Tyler Pitlick on NHL waivers Monday with the intention of assigning him to the AHL's Iowa Wild. Pitlick appeared in 12 games for Minnesota this season amidst a wave of roster injuries, but he failed to record a point while averaging 7:39 of ice time per game. The roster move comes as Minnesota prepares to activate key veterans off injured reserve ahead of their upcoming road trip.
