Red Wings place forward on waivers after season-ending loss

While the Detroit Red Wings continue to deal with the disappointment of falling just short of ending their Stanley Cup Playoffs drought, general manager Steve Yzerman has announced a roster move. 

Forward Austin Czarnik has been placed on waivers; however, the move is merely a formality so that he can re-join the American Hockey League affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins. 

Czarnik played in a total of 34 games with the Red Wings this season, registering a single assist.
