Canucks claim Travis Boyd off waivers from Maple Leafs

The Vancouver Canucks claimed forward Travis Boyd off waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team announced Monday.

Boyd, 27, signed a one-year, $700,000 deal with the Maple Leafs in October, and he'll become an unrestricted free agent after this season.

The 6-foot pivot tallied three goals and eight points over 20 games while playing a depth role for Toronto.

Boyd has amassed 11 goals and 39 points over 105 career contests after the Washington Capitals selected him during the sixth round in 2011.

Vancouver also claimed winger Jimmy Vesey off waivers from Toronto last week.
