Ottawa Senators 

The Sens placed 10-year NHL veteran Zack Smith on waivers Tuesday morning. The 30-year-old winger scored five goals and added 14 assists over 68 games in the nation's capital last season.

Smith, who had 25 goals in 2015-16 and 16 in 2016-17, is signed through 2020-21 and carries a $3.25 million cap hit - seventh-highest among Senators forwards.

According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, the Senators tried to trade Smith last season but would have been forced to take a contract back in return due to his cap hit.

Smith has spent his entire career with the Senators after the team selected him in the third round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. 

Montreal Canadiens

The Habs placed Hunter Shinkaruk, Michael McCarron, Byron Froese, Rinat Valiev and Brett Lernout on waivers on Tuesday. Shinkaruk is a 23-year-old winger who recorded a single assist over seven games with the Calgary Flames last season. McCarron, also a 23-year-old winger, played 18 games with Montreal in 2017-18, recording just one assist. Froese, a 27-year-old centre, had three goals and eight assists over 48 games with the Habs last season. On Tuesday, the Canadiens also sent forward prospect Nick Suzuki to the Owen Sound Attack of the Ontario Hockey League and released veteran forward Joel Ward from his professional tryout. - Team Tweet
