The Montreal Canadiens claimed forward Chris Tierney off waivers Thursday.
Tierney has two goals and three points in 13 games with the Florida Panthers this season, along with three goals and 16 points in 20 AHL contests with the Charlotte Checkers.
The 28-year-old is a veteran of 574 NHL games. His best offensive season came in 2018-19 with the Ottawa Senators when he scored nine goals and 48 points in 81 games.
Tierney has a league-minimum cap hit of $750,000 and is a pending unrestricted free agent.
