Defenseman Matt Taormina has been placed on waivers by the Calgary Flames for reassignment to the Stockton Heat. He was previously on the season-opening injured reserve but presumably is now healthy enough to head to the American Hockey League.

Taormina was acquired in tandem with Rinat Valiev from the Montreal Canadiens in a trade that saw Brett Kulak go the other way.
The Heat will be looking forward to Taormina’s arrival. At 31-years-old, he’s a tenured veteran that has flourished in the AHL.
