NHL defensemen Carson Soucy and Cameron Crotty placed on waivers

The Columbus Blue Jackets and Ottawa Senators have placed defensemen Carson Soucy and Cameron Crotty on waivers, respectively.

Carson Soucy, 32, has played nine NHL seasons and recorded 100 career points. After signing a one-year, $1.15 million contract with Columbus, he has recorded one assist in seven games this season.

Cameron Crotty, 27, has appeared in 11 NHL games since debuting with the Arizona Coyotes. He has recorded one assist and is expected to be assigned to the AHL’s Belleville Senators if he clears waivers. The move by Ottawa may also signal the imminent return of defenseman Thomas Chabot.
