The Minnesota Wild<\/a> claimed defenceman Cameron Crotty<\/a> off waivers from the Ottawa Senators<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The news came just before Senators head coach Travis Green also announced that forward Warren Foegele will be out for an extended period after taking a knee-on-knee hit in Monday\u2019s loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. <\/p>\n

Crotty was placed on waivers Wednesday, along with Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a> defenceman Carson Soucy<\/a>, who cleared waivers Thursday.<\/p>\n

Dallas Stars<\/a> forward Cameron Hughes<\/a> was the lone player placed on waivers Thursday. He has not appeared in a game at any level this season, but posted 17 goals and 68 points in 65 AHL games with the Texas Stars last season.<\/p>\n

Crotty, a 27-year-old from Ottawa, has played three games with the Senators this season and hasn\u2019t recorded a point. <\/p>\n

Crotty is in the final year of a two-year deal, featuring an $812,500 average annual value. <\/p>\n

Selected by the Arizona Coyotes in the third-round of the 2017 NHL Draft, Crotty has one assist over 11 career games with the Coyotes, Minnesota Wild<\/a> and Senators.<\/p>\n

Waiving Crotty came as the Senators are set to have their full arsenal of defencemen for the first time this season as Thomas Chabot<\/a> returns to the lineup against the Los Angeles Kings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jake Sanderson<\/a>, Artem Zub<\/a>, Chabot, Jordan Spence<\/a>, Tyler Kleven<\/a> and Nick Matinpalo will dress against Los Angeles, while Carter Yakemchuk<\/a> serves as a healthy scratch.<\/p>\n

Foegele to miss time<\/p>\n

Foegele has one goal and four points in 13 games with the Senators this season while averaging 12:10 of ice time. <\/p>\n

He joined the team last season, posting six goals and eight points in 21 games after being acquired from the Los Angeles Kings. He had a total of 13 goals and 17 points in 68 games between the two teams.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old winger has 118 goals and 230 points in 594 career games. He is signed through this season at a cap hit of $3.5 million. <\/p>\n

Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports<\/a> Senators general manager Steve Staios is shopping for scoring help and was doing so even before Foegele went down. <\/p>\n

Ottawa is currently 21st in the NHL, averaging 2.85 goals per game amid their promising 8-5-0 start to the season. The team is currently without off-season addition William Eklund<\/a> with the winger likely sidelined into the new year after ankle surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Minnesota Wild claimed defenceman Cameron Crotty off waivers from the Ottawa Senators on Thursday.
