Key Details
- Jan Jenik and Akil Thomas were placed on waivers on November 10.
- Both players are forwards for the Los Angeles Kings.
- Both players are healthy.
- The waivers were used to clear roster spots.
- Both players will report to the AHL affiliate immediately.
- The report comes from Daily Faceoff.
What It Means
Waiving Jenik and Thomas gives the Kings immediate roster flexibility, opening two spots on the active roster. Because both players are healthy, the moves are purely roster management rather than injury-related. If either player clears waivers, he can be assigned to the AHL and continue playing in the minors. The Kings could use the freed spots to recall other players or adjust their lineup.
What's Next
Both players must clear waivers before being assigned to the AHL. If claimed by another team, they would join that club instead. Otherwise, they will report to the Kings' minor league affiliate.
