Lightning place 25-year-old forward on waivers

According to CapFriendly, the Tampa Bay Lightning have placed forward Rudolfs Balcers on waivers for the purpose of assigning him to the American Hockey League.

Balcers, 25, was originally drafted by the San Jose Sharks in 2015, but three years later was shipped to Ottawa as part of the massive haul the Senators got for Erik Karlsson.

The Liepaja (Latvia) native signed with the Florida Panthers last summer, but in November, he was claimed off waivers by the Lightning. In 17 games between the Panthers and Lightning, Balcers has five points (three goals, two assists), four penalty minutes and is a minus-one.
