According to insider Elliotte Friedman, the Pittsburgh Penguins have officially placed center Jonathan Gruden on waivers.
Gruden has played only 11 NHL games this season, scoring one goal, taking eight shots, and delivering 30 hits. He's averaged 8 minutes and 49 seconds of ice time.
Sending the 23-year-old winger to the minors probably indicates that Drew O'Connor, who is recovering from a concussion, will be ready to play against the Senators on Tuesday.
