The Golden Knights placed defenseman Derrick Pouliot on waivers Sunday.

Pouliot was signed to an NHL contract Thursday and appeared in his first game since Nov. 30, 2019, against Florida. He had an assist in two games with the Knights.

If he clears waivers, Pouliot would return to Henderson. In 42 games with the Silver Knights, Pouliot had two goals and 19 points.

Defenseman Ben Hutton was removed from COVID-19 protocol and played Saturday against Los Angeles. The Knights are without defensemen Nic Hague, Alec Martinez and Brayden McNabb.
