Rotowire
Hunt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.
Hunt was the odd man out after the club activated Jared Spurgeon (upper body) off injured reserve, no doubt in part because he is waiver exempt, unlike Jon Merrill. The 21-year-old Hunt has played in five NHL games this season, registering three shots, two hits and eight blocks while averaging a meager 8:36 of ice time. Fantasy players should probably expect the youngster to spend the bulk of the 2023-24 campaign in the minors.
