The Ducks waived Volkov unconditionally for purposes of contract termination Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Volkov scored eight points in 18 games with Anaheim last season but couldn't crack the NHL lineup this season and was waived in early October. Once he clears waivers he'll be free to sign anywhere in the league but it's possible he considers going back to his home country of Russia.

Volkov was waived by the Ducks on Wednesday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Volkov produced a solid eight points in 18 games after he was traded from the Lightning last year, but it appears he'll begin 2021-22 with AHL San Diego. The 24-year-old should be a top candidate for a call-up if injuries arise among the Ducks' forwards, assuming he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Volkov netted a goal on two shots and added four hits in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Volkov opened the scoring at 16:06 of the first period in his Ducks debut. The 23-year-old forward is up to six points in 20 contests between the Ducks and the Lightning this year. He saw third-line usage Friday, but Volkov will likely be given plenty of chances to push into a top-six role if he can pile up points with his new team.

Volkov (COVID-19 protocol) was taken off the non-roster list and placed on the active roster Thursday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
This move bodes well for Volkov making his Ducks debut Friday versus the Coyotes. He'll likely be limited to bottom-six work initially. The Russian forward had five points in 19 games with the Lightning before he was traded to the Ducks on March 24.
