The St. Louis Blues<\/a> have waived forward Mathieu Joseph<\/a> for the purposes of contract termination, the team announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

This marks the second time in two weeks that the 29-year-old winger had been placed on waivers after previously going unclaimed on Feb. 27. He was later assigned to the team\u2019s AHL affiliate, Springfield Thunderbirds.<\/p>\n

If Joseph were to clear again, he would be granted unrestricted free agency and would be available to sign with another team.<\/p>\n

The Laval, Que. native has recorded two goals and nine assists for 11 points across 39 games for St. Louis. He is currently in the last season of a four-year, $11.80 million deal, and carries a cap hit of $2.95 million. <\/p>\n

A fourth-round pick in 2015, Joseph has 61 goals and 160 points in 459 career NHL games split between the Blues, Ottawa Senators<\/a>, and Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Devils waive Dadonov, Glendening, Tsyplakov<\/p>\n

The New Jersey Devils<\/a> have placed forwards Evgenii Dadonov<\/a>, Luke Glendening<\/a>, and Maxim Tsyplakov<\/a> on waivers Thursday.<\/p>\n

Dadonov, 36, has failed to register a point in 17 games for the Devils this season after signing with the team as a free agent over the summer.<\/p>\n

The Chelyabinsk, Russia native was scratched for New Jersey\u2019s past five games, last appearing before the Olympic break on Feb. 5 against the New York Islanders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A veteran of 12 NHL campaigns, Dadonov has scored 163 goals and 361 points across 634 career games spent with the Florida Panthers<\/a>, Vegas Golden Knights<\/a>, Dallas Stars<\/a>, Montreal Canadiens<\/a>, and Devils.<\/p>\n

Glendening, 36, has skated in 52 contests for New Jersey this season, posting four assists while averaging 9:54 of ice time per game.<\/p>\n

The Grand Rapids, Mich. native had been scratched for each of New Jersey\u2019s past six games, last playing on Feb. 3 against the Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glendening has played in 916 career NHL games, recording 83 goals and 87 assists in time spent with the Detroit Red Wings<\/a>, Stars, Lightning, and Devils.<\/p>\n

Both Dadonov and Glendening are set for unrestricted free agency at season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

Tsyplakov, 27, was acquired by the Devils in a trade from the Islanders on Jan. 27. <\/p>\n

In nine games since being acquired by New Jersey, the Moscow, Russia native did not record a point and played to a minus-three rating in 8:26 of action per outing.<\/p>\n

The sophomore skater still has another year remaining on his deal at $2.25 million. <\/p>\n

After making his debut on the Island during the 2024-25 season, Tysplakov has totaled 11 goals and 26 assists for 37 points in 113 career games.<\/p>\n

Also placed on waivers Thursday with just over 24 hours remaining until the NHL trade deadline were Curtis Douglas<\/a> of the Lightning, Golden Knights wingers Cole Reinhardt<\/a> and Alexander Holtz<\/a>, and Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> forward Garrett Wilson<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The St. Louis Blues have waived forward Mathieu Joseph for the purposes of contract termination, the team announced…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":473598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[4759,5,58163,4,33561],"class_list":{"0":"post-487715","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-apple-news","9":"tag-hockey","10":"tag-mathieu-joseph-sports-hockey-player-player-nhl-api-8478472","11":"tag-nhl","12":"tag-st-louis-blues-sports-hockey-team-team-nhl-api-19"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116178703204519522","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/473598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
