Kinkaid (undisclosed) was placed on waivers for the purpose of reassignment Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per NHL rules, Kinkaid has to be medically cleared before he can be waived or reassigned. While the veteran backstop has played sparingly at the NHL level over the last few seasons -- he saw action in just two games last year -- there are a handful of teams that could be in the market, including the Edmonton Oilers, who aren't exactly getting solid netminding out of either of their current goalies. If Kinkaid goes unclaimed, he will link up with AHL Utica for the time being.

Kinkaid (undisclosed) was moved to the non-roster injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Kinkaid was injured early in the preseason and will be stashed away to begin the regular season. He appeared in just two NHL games last year and will likely begin his 2023-24 season at the AHL level once healthy.

Kinkaid (undisclosed) isn't on the ice for Wednesday's practice, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kinkaid suffered an injury Monday versus Montreal, and at this point it isn't clear how long he might be sidelined. Either way, once healthy, look for the veteran netminder to start the season in the AHL.

Kinkaid signed a one-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kinkaid's salary will be $350,000 if he plays in the AHL, and it'll jump to $775,000 at the NHL level. The 34-year-old has a 70-58-21 record, 2.91 GAA and .905 save percentage in 169 career NHL outings. He'll probably start the campaign in the AHL, but he might spend time with New Jersey if Vitek Vanecek or Akira Schmid sustain an injury during the 2023-24 campaign.

Kinkaid signed a one-year contract with AHL Chicago on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago will operate independently this season, so Kinkaid will have no direct path back to an NHL deal. The 34-year-old split time between the Avalanche and the Bruins last season, playing in one game for each of those NHL clubs while spending the bulk of the campaign in the minors. Kinkaid will still be free to ink an NHL deal if he shows well with the Wolves.

Kinkaid was assigned to AHL Colorado on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Kinkaid had been serving as a depth goalie for the Avalanche during the playoffs. The defending Stanley Cup champions were eliminated in Game 7 by Seattle on Sunday, so Kinkaid will report back to Colorado's minor-league affiliate.

Kinkaid was called up from AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kinkaid will serve as the Avalanche's third goalie during the postseason. It's unlikely the 33-year-old sees much playing time unless both of Alexandar Georgiev and Pavel Francouz are unavailable.

Kinkaid was demoted to AHL Colorado on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Kinkaid stopped eight stops in relief during his Avalanche debut Saturday against Dallas. The 33-year-old should be recalled before Tuesday's tilt with the Sharks if Pavel Francouz (lower body) is still out.

Kinkaid made eight saves in relief in a 7-3 loss to Dallas on Saturday. He allowed one goal.

EDGE Analysis

Kinkaid entered the game in the second period and played 27:57 in his Avalanche debut. The only goal he allowed came early in the third period when Wyatt Johnston stole the puck from Avs' forward Denis Malgin and slid it under his left pad. Kinkaid's only other NHL game this season -- a win -- came Nov. 12 with the Bruins.

Kinkaid was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kinkaid was acquired from Boston last Saturday in exchange for Shane Bowers. The 33-year-old netminder will probably back up Alexandar Georgiev on Saturday versus Dallas due to the absence of Pavel Francouz (lower body).
