Elliotte Friedman: Players put on waivers yesterday: Martin Marincin – Toronto Maple Leafs and Calvin Pickard – Vegas Golden Knights.
Chris Johnston: If Marincin went unclaimed and assigned to the AHL, he would still count $200,000 against the Maple Leafs salary cap.
On the Boston Bruins …
Joe Haggerty: Forward David Backes has been diagnosed with diverticulitis and will be out for three to four weeks. He’ll be reevaluated after that.
Joe McDonald: Noel Acciari has an upper-body injury and is unlikely to be able to go on Monday.
