The Minnesota Wild claimed defenceman Nate Prosser from the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday, one day after waiving Kyle Quincey.

Prosser, 31, appeared in one game with the Blues this season, failing to log a point against the Calgary Flames on Oct. 25. He had spent his entire career with the Wild before signing with the Blues in the summer. 

Quincey and Jordin Tootoo of the Chicago Blackhawks both cleared waivers on Thursday and will be assigned to their respective AHL clubs.

Quincey owns three assists and a minus-4 rating while averaging 14:17 of ice time in 18 games this season. He was minus-3 in the team's 7-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Monday.

The Buffalo Sabres placed Matt Tennyson on waivers Thursday, while the Washington Capitals waived Nathan Walker.
