The San Jose Sharks have claimed winger Ryan Dzingel off waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier today. Dzingel was acquired by the Maple Leafs as part of a trade with the Arizona Coyotes that saw Ilya Lyubushkin go to the Leafs in exchange for Nick Ritchie and a conditional draft pick. Dzingel didn’t play a game with the Maple Leafs, and was waived to provide depth for the Maple Leafs, if he cleared.
“Ryan is a competitor who brings skill and experience to our lineup and has had a couple of 20-goal seasons in the NHL,” said acting Sharks general manager Joe Will in a release.
