Pilon was placed on waivers by Washington on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Pilon notched four goals and 16 points in 14 games with AHL Hershey during the 2020-21 season -- while also spending a considerable amount of time on Washington's taxi squad. Should the 23-year-old pass through waivers unclaimed, Pilon is expected to garner a heavy workload once again for Washington's minor league affiliate while awaiting his next chance to return to the big leagues.
