Leafs waive Philippe Dupuis


Say so long to one member from the Toronto Maple Leafs last-place penalty kill.

The Leafs placed centre Philippe Dupuis on waivers on Monday afternoon with the intention of sending him to the minors, likely ending his time with the team.

Dupuis, signed in the off-season after spending last year with the Colorado Avalanche, played 30 games with the Leafs and didn’t record a point.

In fact, he hasn’t been on the ice for a 5-on-5 goal for in roughly 240 minutes of even strength ice time.

Dupuis going to the Toronto Marlies frees up another roster spot for when Mike Komisarek, Matt Lombardi, Mike Brown or Colby Armstrong returns from injury later this month.

Defenceman Korbinian Holzer was also sent to the minors on Monday.
