Ducks' Henrique clears waivers

Anaheim Ducks forward Adam Henrique has cleared waivers after surprisingly being made available on Saturday, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

Henrique was free for any team to grab over a 24-hour period, but he'll now continue his season with the Ducks. He's the club's second-highest paid forward, carrying a $5.83 million cap hit through the 2023-24 season.

The 31-year-old led Anaheim with 26 goals and 43 points last campaign. However, he's off to a slow start in 2021 while managing only four points in 16 contests for the last-place Ducks.
