Predators' Marc Del Gaizo: Lands on waivers
Rotowire
Del Gaizo was placed on waivers by the Predators on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Del Gaizo appeared in the Predators' last four games since the team was dealing with several injuries, and he racked up nine hits and five blocked shots while averaging 17:10 of ice time. Jeremy Lauzon (lower body), Alexandre Carrier (upper body) and Roman Josi (lower body) have all appeared to make progress in their recovery recently, so Del Gaizo landing on waivers could signal that at least one of them will be back in action for Thursday's home game against Pittsburgh.

Predators' Marc Del Gaizo: Serving as injury fill-in
Rotowire
Del Gaizo played for a third straight game Saturday in a 5-2 loss to the Avalanche, logging three blocked shots.
He was scratched for six consecutive contests between Nov. 27 and Dec. 7, but injuries to Roman Josi (lower body), Alexandre Carrier (upper body) and Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) have allowed Del Gaizo to get back in the lineup. Del Gaizo has just three assists to go with 27 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and 29 hits through 19 outings. He may be at risk of losing his place in the lineup once the Predators' defense is healthier.

The 25-year-old Del Gaizo is up to three assists, 15 shots on net, 16 hits, 12 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating through 10 contests. He should be able to add a little sandpaper in a third-pairing role, though it looks like he could also be a decent depth contributor on offense.

Predators' Marc Del Gaizo: Elevated from minors
Rotowire
Del Gaizo was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.
Del Gaizo has logged three NHL games this season in which he garnered eight shots, four PIM and two hits while averaging 14:23 of ice time. The decision to bring up Del Gaizo from the minors could be just to give the team some emergency coverage ahead of Thursday's matchup with Edmonton -- though it could also point to a potential injury on the blue line. If Del Gaizo does get into a game, it will likely be in limited action on the Preds' third pairing.
