The NHL's waiver frenzy has resulted in two new players for the Arizona Coyotes.
The club claimed defenseman Juuso Valimaki from the Calgary Flames on Sunday, and goaltender Connor Ingram from the Nashville Predators on Monday.
Valimaki was chosen 16th overall by the Flames at the 2017 NHL Draft, but his career has yet to take off. The 24-year-old Finnish blue-liner has recorded 16 points in 82 career NHL games across three seasons.
Ingram, 25, has spent the bulk of his professional career in the minors, posting an .879 save percentage in three regular-season NHL games and a .913 mark in four postseason contests. He projects to battle Jonas Johansson for Arizona's backup goalie job behind Karel Vejmelka.
