The Montreal Canadiens placed defenseman Karl Alzner on waivers Monday, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
Alzner signed a five-year, $23.125-million contract with the Canadiens on July 1, 2017. Shea Weber could make his season debut Tuesday, so a roster spot and cap room needed to be cleared.
The 30-year-old blue-liner has been in and out of the lineup this season, picking up one assist in eight games. Last season he tallied 12 points in 82 contests for the Habs.
