The Sharks have placed forward Raffi Torres on waivers, a team source confirmed on Friday.
The winger, who served a 41-game suspension for the first half of the season, is unlikely to be claimed by another NHL club as he continues to deal with ongoing right knee issues. If he clears, as expected, he will remain with the AHL Barracuda in his attempt to get back to the NHL.
The 34-year-old Torres has no points and one shot on goal in three games with the Barracuda. He was assigned there on Jan. 13 on a two-week conditioning assignment that ended on Thursday.
