There’s activity on the NHL waiver wire this Tuesday. We’re keeping a close eye on the situation, particularly since Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens have a strong chance to claim players due to their position in the standings.
Today, the Boston Bruins have put a player on waivers.
Alec Regula has been placed on waivers by the NHL. If the Canadiens are interested, they will rank among the top five in claim priority.
At just 24 years old, Regula is a right-handed defenseman standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 211 pounds. He was selected 67th overall in the third round of the 2018 NHL Draft by the Detroit Red Wings.
His status as a right-handed defenseman is significant!
With 22 games of NHL experience, Regula has been quite effective in the AHL, posting:
– 26 points in 55 games in 2024
– 21 points in 51 games in 2023
– 26 points in 41 games in 2022
He was traded from the Blackhawks to the Bruins as part of the Taylor Hall trade.
By Wednesday afternoon, we’ll find out whether he was claimed off waivers, but given his potential as a right-handed defenseman, it wouldn’t be surprising if someone does pick him up.
More information will be provided in the coming hours.
