NHL notebook: Blackhawks release D Scuderi
By The Sports Xchange
The Chicago Blackhawks waived veteran defenseman Rob Scuderi on Tuesday after the 37-year-old veteran played in only 17 games in two months since he was acquired in a trade.
If Scuderi is claimed by another team, the Blackhawks would realize a salary-cap savings of approximately $1.2 million. Chicago could also save about $950,000 if Scuderi goes unclaimed and the Blackhawks assign him to the minor leagues. He is signed through next season with a salary-cap hit of $2.25 million.
In limited action with the Blackhawks since the trade with the Penguins for defenseman Trevor Daley, Scuderi has no points and averaged 11:06 in ice time per game. He was a healthy scratch for the past two games.
---The Arizona Coyotes recalled goaltender Niklas Treutle from Springfield of the American Hockey League.
Treutle, 24, has a 9-11-5 record with a .909 save percentage and 2.91 goals-against average in 26 games for Springfield this season. Last season with Munich in his native Germany, Treutle logged a 20-10-0 record with a .923 save percentage and a 2.06 goals-against average n 30 games. He signed with the Coyotes in July.
---The Boston Bruins activated defenseman Adam McQuaid from injured reserve and sent defenseman Colin Miller to Providence of the American Hockey League.
McQuaid was active for Tuesday night's game in Columbus, Ohio, against the Blue Jackets. He had not played since Jan. 5 after sustaining an upper-body injury.
In 28 games for the Bruins this season, McQuaid has one goal and five assists. Miller is in his first NHL season after a trade from the Los Angeles Kings last July. In 39 games for the Bruins in 2015-16, he has three goals and 12 assists.
