The Ottawa Senators placed veteran forward Artem Anisimov on waivers Monday, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Anisimov, 32, is in the final year of a five-year deal with an annual cap hit of $4.55 million. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season.

The 6-foot-4 pivot has two goals and two assists through 14 games in his second campaign with the Senators after tallying 15 goals last season.

Ottawa acquired Anisimov from the Chicago Blackhawks in July 2019. The four-time 20-goal scorer has amassed 180 tallies and 371 points over 766 career NHL outings.
