Red Wings Place Jonatan Berggren on Waivers After Limited Role

The 25-year-old enters a 24-hour claim window that could precede an assignment to AHL Grand Rapids.

Overview

  • Detroit placed Berggren on waivers Monday, with the claim deadline set for 2 p.m. Tuesday.
  • He has played 15 games this season with two goals and four assists after being scratched in nine of the last 10 games.
  • Berggren is on a one-year, $1.825 million contract and will be arbitration-eligible as a restricted free agent after the season.
  • Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman and Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli first reported the waiver placement.
  • Drafted in 2018, Berggren has 169 NHL games with 31 goals and 33 assists, and his role has waned due to inconsistency and defensive concerns.
