NHLNHL clubs place 18 more players on waivers as Monday's roster deadline nears
Ten teams put a combined 18 players on waivers Saturday, the second wave in three days as clubs trim to the 23-man limit ahead of Monday's opening-night deadline. Boston waived forwards Lukas Reichel and Alex Steeves; the Islanders put five players on waivers, headlined by winger Pierre Engvall; Calgary, Columbus, Dallas, Florida, Los Angeles, Nashville, Pittsburgh and Washington each waived at least one player. Detroit claimed defenseman Andreas Englund from Calgary, and Nashville claimed defenseman William Trudeau from the Rangers. The wave follows Friday's larger cut-down, when outlets reported roughly 50 to 60-plus players placed on waivers league-wide.
MLBAlvarez Chases Triple Crown, Crow-Armstrong Completes 40-40 in Milestone-Filled Final Week
Houston's Yordan Alvarez enters the final days in range of the AL Triple Crown, leading in average and tied for the home run lead. Chicago's Pete Crow-Armstrong became the seventh player in MLB history -- and first Cub ever -- to complete a 40-homer, 40-steal season. Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski and New York's Cam Schlittler are both within reach of the first sub-2.00 ERA, 230-plus-strikeout season since 1972, and Philadelphia's Luis Arraez is positioned to win a batting title with a fourth different team.

Vancouver's claim of goaltender Leevi Meriläinen off waivers from Ottawa, plus placing forward Filip Chytil on injured reserve, has intensified the Canucks' goaltending competition ahead of Monday's 2 p.m. PT deadline to trim the roster to 23. Nikita Tolopilo now faces a possible assignment to Abbotsford, and Chris Driedger's roster spot is in question depending on how the goaltending numbers shake out. Vancouver is also carrying five injured skaters (Thompson, MacEachern, Thomas, Chytil, Demko) while it finalizes its forward and defense groups; Aatu Räty and Max Sasson appear to have made the forward group, while Braeden Cootes and Jonathan Lekkerimäki are ticketed for more seasoning in Abbotsford.
