Report: Ducks claim J.T. Brown off waivers from Lightning
J.T. Brown is reportedly headed to a new organization.
The Anaheim Ducks claimed the forward off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Brown was waived by the Lightning on Saturday, and general manager Steve Yzerman said shortly thereafter he was planning to send Brown down to the AHL's Syracuse Crunch if he went unclaimed.
The 27-year-old right winger was made a healthy scratch multiple times in 2017-18, posted only four points in 24 games, and averaged fewer than 10 minutes of ice time.
He became the first NHL player to peacefully protest racial injustice and police brutality this season when he stood with a raised fist during the U.S. national anthem before a game in early October.

Danault released from hospital after taking slap shot to head
Phillip Danault is on the mend.
The Montreal Canadiens forward was released from a local hospital Sunday and is now resting at home, according to the club.
Danault was hospitalized after taking a Zdeno Chara slap shot to the head in Saturday night's game against the Boston Bruins.
He stayed there overnight after being stretchered off the ice late in the second period.
Chara stood near Danault in the immediate aftermath as medical personnel attended to the Canadiens center, and then expressed remorse and concern for Danault in his postgame comments.

The Toronto FC forward is the son of Haitian immigrants, while Bolt hails from Jamaica, and Subban's parents are originally from the Caribbean.
President Donald Trump reportedly referred to African nations as "shithole countries" and suggested the U.S. should admit fewer immigrants from Haiti during a private meeting with lawmakers earlier this week.

Cogliano was assessed an interference minor on the play.
He has never missed a game in his 11-year NHL career, and he's riding the fourth-longest consecutive games played streak in league history (830).
The Ducks signed him to a three-year contract extension earlier this week.

Avalanche reach 49 points, 1 more than all of last season
The Colorado Avalanche are the comeback kids.
A win over the Dallas Stars on Saturday gave the Avalanche 49 points on the season, one more than they finished with in a disastrous 2016-17 campaign.
Related: How the Avalanche rose from rock bottom to playoff contention
Last year was the worst full-season finish since the first year of the Atlanta Thrashers, when the former club finished with 39 points.
But it's been a big turnaround in Colorado this year, led by a rejuvenated Nathan MacKinnon and a sensational sophomore showing from Mikko Rantanen.
The Avalanche now own a 23-16-3 record and sit just two points shy of a playoff position.
