Halak clears waivers, will report to AHL
Brad Penner / USA TODAY Sports
Jaroslav Halak is on his way to Bridgeport.
The club placed the netminder on waivers Friday, and the 31-year-old has cleared them, resulting in a trip to the AHL, the Islanders announced.
Halak could have been an upgrade somewhere else, but his $4.5-million salary likely kept suitors away.
On a struggling New York team, Halak hasn't enjoyed his best season, accumulating a 6-8-5 record with a 3.23 goals-against average and .904 save percentage.
