On Tuesday, the Boston Bruins placed defenseman Alec Regula on waivers. The blue liner was claimed off the wire by the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday.
When the Bruins placed Regula on waivers it was most likely in the hopes that the defender was ready for action. He has yet to play in the 2024-25 season due to injury after having knee surgery this past summer, and the waiver motion indicates he is ready to return.
However, he will do so with the Oilers.
This summer, Regula had re-signed with the Bruins for another year on a two-way contract with an NHL cap hit of $775,000. Regula came to the Bruins after spending the first three seasons of his pro career with the Blackhawks.
In 55 games in the American Hockey League last season, Regula scored four goals and 22 assists for 26 points, leading the league in plus/minus with a +36 rating.
In 22 career NHL games, Regula has scored just one goal.
