The Blue Jackets have claimed defenseman Kevin Connauton off waivers from the Stars and assigned defenseman Frederic St-Denis to the AHL’s Springfield Falcons, club GM Jarmo Kekalainen announced today.

Connauton has registered one goal and nine assists for 10 points with 22 penalty minutes in 44 career NHL games, all during the past two seasons with the Stars. 

The Wild activated goaltender Josh Harding off injured reserve Monday, but subsequently placed the 30-year-old on waivers.

The team announced the news via its official Twitter account Monday morning.

The Coyotes have waived defenseman David Schlemko, according to an ESPN.com report on Friday.

The 27-year-old Schlemko has appeared in seven games this season, with one assist and a plus/minus rating of minus-3.
