Suspended Ducks left wing Jean-Francois Jacques has been sent to the minors after clearing waivers. Anaheim sent Jacques to Syracuse of the AHL on Thursday.

The Sabres have placed forward Ales Kotalik and defenseman Shaone Morrisonn on waivers, according to an ESPN.com report. The moves announced Saturday enable the Sabres to trim just over $5M from the salary cap. Buffalo had been about $3M over the $64.3M cap. If the players aren't claimed off waivers by another team by Monday, they could be assigned to Rochester of the AHL.
