Anaheim Ducks forward Adam Henrique has cleared waivers after surprisingly being made available on Saturday, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

Henrique was free for any team to grab over a 24-hour period, but he'll now continue his season with the Ducks. He's the club's second-highest paid forward, carrying a $5.83 million cap hit through the 2023-24 season.

The 31-year-old led Anaheim with 26 goals and 43 points last campaign. However, he's off to a slow start in 2021 while managing only four points in 16 contests for the last-place Ducks.
