Valimaki (knee) was placed on waivers Sunday for the purpose of being assigned to AHL Tucson.

Valimaki appears to be ready to return to action after recovering from a torn ACL, which was surgically repaired in March. He earned two goals, five points, 40 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and 23 hits in 43 appearances during the 2024-25 NHL regular season.
