Report: Canadiens place Streit on unconditional waivers to terminate contract

Mark Streit's brief reunion with the Montreal Canadiens is coming to an end.

The club has reportedly placed the veteran defenseman on waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Streit was signed to a one-year contract on July 25, bringing him back to the team that drafted him in 2004.

In two games this season, Streit was held without a point. Once this transaction is complete, he'll be free to sign with another team around the NHL or overseas.
