Ottawa Senators winger Zack MacEwen has cleared waivers and has been assigned to AHL Belleville. The rugged winger was the roster casualty required in order to active goaltender Anton Forsberg who has been out since Jan. 11 with a groin injury. The 27-year-old has recorded two goals and three points across 22 games this season while adding 38 hits and 46 penalty minutes to his ledger in just 6:23 of average ice time per game. MacEwen has appeared in 208 regular-season games in parts of six NHL seasons, notching 15 goals, 31 points, and 291 penalty minutes in stints with the Canucks, Flyers, Kings, and Senators.
Ottawa Senators forward Zack MacEwen was placed on waivers on Thursday afternoon. The physical winger came out of the lineup to make room for the returning Josh Norris in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the visiting Washington Capitals and is likely headed for Belleville of the American Hockey League. The 27-year-old has skated in two games with the Sens this season, notching an assist and a pair of shots on goal while averaging just 6:39 of ice time per game on the team's fourth line. A veteran of 188 career NHL games, MacEwen has accrued 13 goals, 29 points, and 245 penalty minutes with the Canucks, Flyers, Kings, and Senators.
