The Philadelphia Flyers and St. Louis Blues each placed a forward on waivers Thursday after scoreless starts to the 2026-27 season.
Garrett Wilson, 35, has appeared in two games for the Flyers, recording no points and a minus-2 rating while averaging 9:49 of ice time. He dressed for an Oct. 10 loss to the Boston Bruins and a victory over the Ottawa Senators last Saturday. Wilson played three games with Philadelphia last season and posted 4 goals, 16 assists and 54 points with the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms. He carries a two-way contract with an $850,000 NHL cap hit and $425,000 minor-league salary. Across 89 NHL regular-season games, he has 2 goals and 8 points, plus 2 points in 10 postseason contests.
Zach Dean has played three games for the Blues, also without a point, and holds a minus-4 rating with 9:58 of average ice time. This marks his first NHL action since nine games in 2023-24. Dean spent 2025-26 with the Springfield Thunderbirds, tallying 4 goals and 14 points in 36 games. He has yet to score a point in the NHL. His one-year two-way contract carries an $850,000 NHL salary and $95,000 AHL cap hit.
On Wednesday, Golden Knights forward Lukas Cormier was the lone player on waivers. He cleared and is expected to join the Henderson Silver Knights.
