Blues place 29-year-old forward on waivers

After a couple days of inactivity on the wire, TSN's Chris Johnston reported that the St. Louis Blues have placed 29-year-old forward Matthew Peca on waivers for the purpose of assigning him to the AHL.

Peca, a native of Petawawa (Ontario), has yet to play for the Blues this year after being placed on season-opening injured reserve in October. Two weeks ago, the Blues sent Peca to the AHL on a conditioning stint, where he's put up five assists, two penalty minutes and is a minus-five in six games.

In order to assign him to the Springfield Thunderbirds on a permanent basis, Peca needed to be placed on waivers.
