Comrie (immigration) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per TSN.
EDGE Analysis
Comrie was picked up on waivers from the Jets, but he will need to sort out his visa paperwork in accordance with switching teams. While Comrie is inactive, Scott Wedgewood will serve as MacKenzie Blackwood's primary backup.

Comrie was picked up off the waiver wire by New Jersey from Winnipeg on Tuesday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Following the surprise retirement of Corey Crawford, it shouldn't come as a shock to see the Devils in the goaltending market. Unless the team wants to carry three netminders on the Opening Night roster, this likely means that Scott Wedgewood will be demoted to the taxi squad with Comrie serving as the No. 2 behind MacKenzie Blackwood.

Comrie was waived by the Jets on Monday, Rick Ralph of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.
EDGE Analysis
Assuming he clears, Comrie figures to be placed on the taxi squad so that he can be brought into the squad at any point if Connor Hellebuyck or Laurent Brossoit picks up an injury. In 16 outings for the Moose last year, Comrie posted a 6-9-0 record and .918 save percentage.

Comrie joined the Jets for the start of Phase 3 training camp Monday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Comrie figures to be third on the organizational depth chart, at best, heading into the postseason, so pool entrants won't want to waste a spot on the netminder. With Laurent Brossoit out of contract this offseason, the club could opt to go with Comrie as the No. 2 behind Connor Hellebuyck next year.

The Jets put Comrie on waivers Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Comrie didn't see any action with Winnipeg after the club claimed him off waivers Dec. 19 and will now go through waivers again. If he goes without a claim, Comrie will presumably wind up in the AHL ranks.

Comrie was snatached off waivers by the Jets from the Red Wings on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Comrie was originally selected by Winnipeg with the 59th overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft and appeared in five games for the club. The Jets lost Comrie to the Coyotes before the start of the season when they tried to move him to the minors and now jumped at the opportunity to bring the netminder back into the fold.

Detroit placed Comrie on waivers Wednesday, Sportsnets' Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jimmy Howard (groin) should be ready to return Saturday against Toronto, so the Red Wings are no longer in need of Comrie's services as a backup netminder. As long as he clears waivers, the 24-year-old will be assigned to AHL Grand Rapids.

Comrie allowed four goals on 32 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Comrie was making his second start since joining the Red Wings and has given up nine goal goals on 62 shots in those two outings. That's an .855 save percentage and that's not good. With Jimmy Howard out due to a lower-body injury, Comrie will continue to spell Jonathan Bernier on occasion for the foreseeable future.

Comrie will guard the home cage for Sunday's tilt against the Kings, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Comrie will make his second start with the Red Wings after coughing up five goals on 30 shots against Winnipeg on Dec. 10. The 24-year-old netminder owns a 4.24 GAA and .867 save percentage in seven career NHL appearances. He should be largely ignored in most fantasy formats.

Comrie stopped 25 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
A member of the Winnipeg organization the previous three seasons, Comrie was acquired by Detroit from Arizona earlier this month. Tuesday marked his first start with his new team and it did not go well. Three Detroit goals in the final three-plus minutes of the second period turned a 1-1 game into a 4-1 lead. The 24-year-old will largely work behind Jonathan Bernier while Jimmy Howard is out with his lower-body injury.
