The Rob Scuderi era in Chicago could be short-lived.
According to multiple reports, the Blackhawks have placed the veteran defenseman on waivers.
The Blackhawks acquired Scuderi in exchange for defenseman Trevor Daley in a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Dec. 14.
The 37-year-old Scuderi has played in 17 games for the Blackhawks this season and hasn't registered any points with a minus-6 rating. Scuderi has been a healthy scratch in six of the last seven games.
Scuderi, who is signed through the 2016-17 season, carries a cap hit of $2.
