Waiver roundup: Oduya claimed by Flyers

Johnny Oduya was claimed on waivers by the Philadelphia Flyers from the Ottawa Senators on Monday.

The 36-year-old defenseman had eight points (four goals, four assists) in 51 games with Ottawa this season. He was plus-2 in 17:12 of ice time per game.
"It's the experience and he's a proven veteran guy in the dressing room," Flyers coach Dave Hakstol told NBC Sports Philadelphia. "He's an outstanding defender and he's very versatile in terms of being able to play either side. I think he certainly brings an element to our group."
Oduya has 190 points (41 goals, 149 assists) in 849 NHL games with the New Jersey Devils, Atlanta Thrashers, Chicago Blackhawks, Winnipeg Jets, Dallas Stars and Senators. He has 28 points (six goals, 26 assists) in 106 Stanley Cup Playoff games and was part of the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup championship teams in 2013 and 2015.

Stewart claimed by Flames

Chris Stewart was claimed on waivers from the Calgary Flames from the Minnesota Wild. The 30-year-old forward has 13 points (nine goals, four assists) in 47 games this season.
"Getting a second chance in Calgary with a team in the heat of things, making a (Stanley Cup) Playoff run, is the ideal situation," Stewart told the Flames website.
Selected by the Colorado Avalanche with the No. 18 pick of the 2006 NHL Draft, Stewart has 318 points (159 goals, 159 assists) in 645 NHL games with the Avalanche, St. Louis Blues, Buffalo Sabres, Anaheim Ducks and Wild.

Alt to Avalanche

Mark Alt
was claimed on waivers by the Colorado Avalanche from the Flyers.
The 26-year-old defenseman has no points in eight games this season and had 10 points (five goals, five assists) in 23 games with Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League.
"These things happen and I'm excited for the opportunity," Alt told NBC Sports Philadelphia. "There's mixed emotions, good and bad. It's good to have somebody to be wanted, and at the same time, it's tough to leave the team. It kind of goes both ways there."
Alt made his NHL debut last season with Philadelphia, playing one game.
