Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman placed another veteran on waivers, again showing a willingness to cut loose a player not performing to expectations.
Goaltender Alex Nedeljovic went to waivers Sunday afternoon, two days before his conditioning stint in the minors would have expired. If Nedeljkovic clears, he can be assigned to the minors. That is what happened earlier this month when forward Jakub Vrana was waived and cleared.
Yzerman has not addressed either move in the media.
The move comes as Nedeljkovic has struggled to regain the form he showed last season as the Wings' starter.
