The Ottawa Senators have placed goaltender Andrew Hammond on waivers, reports Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

The Senators previously considered assigning Hammond to Binghamton (AHL) on a conditioning stint, a move which requires the player's consent. However, the veteran goaltender was not interested in the move, reports Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen.

The Senators can now assign Hammond to the AHL should he clear waivers.

The veteran goaltender is winless in two games this season, posting a 4.50 goals-against average and .793 save percentage. He has also missed eight games with a groin injury and has not played since Oct. 28.
