Pittsburgh sent down 11 players earlier this week that needed to clear waivers before playing in the AHL, but none of them was claimed before a noon deadline.

Ten of those players – forwards Connor James, Ryan Stone, Jonathan Filewich, Chris Minard and Dave Gove and defensemen Danny Richmond, T.J. Kemp, Deryk Engelland and Joey Mormina – skated in practice Monday.

The other, center Kris Beech, has yet to arrive in Wilkes-Barre. Coach Dan Bylsma said he had no update on when or if Beech planned to report.

What does this do for our blue line?
