    Canucks' Michael Leighton: Signs, lands on waivers

    The Vancouver Canucks inked Michael Leighton to a contract Tuesday after playing with Utica, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports. He has also been placed on waivers with the intention of sending him to AHL Utica.Leighton's deal is likely of the two-way variety and should extend through the end of the 2018-19 campaign. The 37-year-old netminder has posted a 6-1-0 record with a 2.53 GAA and a .915 save percentage over seven appearances with Utica and could be a candidate for recall if injuries take their toll on the team's NHL netminders.

    Penguins' Michael Leighton: Returning to action in minors

    Michael Leighton (undisclosed) will suit up for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday versus Binghamton.Leighton has been sidelined since late December due to his undisclosed injury, but will return to the crease for the Baby Pens. This is good news for Pittsburgh's minor-league affiliate, as an injury to Matt Murray (concussion) has forced the organization to keep both Tristan Jarry and Casey DeSmith in the NHL.

    Penguins' Michael Leighton: Dealing with injury

    Michael Leighton is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.While minor-league injury news rarely affects fantasy owners, Leighton's status will impact the Pens' decision on who to call up to fill the backup role with Matt Murray (undisclosed) currently sidelined. Casey DeSmith might seem like the obvious choice, but with Leighton unavailable, that would leave the Baby Pens without a viable option between the pipes.

    Penguins' Michael Leighton: Traded to Pittsburgh

    The Coyotes traded Michael Leighton and a 2019 fourth-round pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Josh Archibald, Sean Maguire and a 2019 sixth-round pick Tuesday.The Penguins clearly wanted to add a veteran backup so they could bolster their organizational depth at goaltender, and they only needed to part with a pair of depth players and a sixth-round pick to do it. However, it's hard to believe the team will be able to trust Leighton with any starts at the NHL level this season, as he struggled in limited action last year with a 2-2-0 record while registering an ugly 3.43 GAA and .870 save percentage in four appearances with the Hurricanes. The 36-year-old backstop will report to Pittsburgh's AHL affiliate.

    Coyotes' Michael Leighton: Shuffles back to minors

    Michael Leighton was reassigned to AHL Tuscon on Thursday.Despite getting called up to the big stage Monday, Leighton didn't see any action in road games versus the Ducks and Golden Knights, respectively. The lanky goalie is best viewed as an emergency option for a Arizona Coyotes team that's caught in the cellar of the league standings.

    Coyotes' Michael Leighton: Called up from AHL Chicago

    Michael Leighton was promoted from the minors Monday.Leighton 's recall could be simply a paper transaction in order to help the Yotes reach the salary cap floor -- rather than an indication that Antti Raanta or Scott Wedgewood is dealing with an injury. Arizona is off until Thursday, so look for any potential injury updates from the team in the coming days.

    Coyotes' Michael Leighton: Sent to minors

    Michael Leighton was loaned to AHL Chicago on Tuesday.With Antti Raanta and Scott Wedgewood cemented as the top two goalies in Arizona, there is no need for Leighton to be around the big club, and he will get some meaningful ice time with the Wolves instead. He should probably not be counted on for fantasy production at any time.

    Coyotes' Michael Leighton: Headed to the desert

    Michael Leighton was acquired by the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday, along with Tye McGinn, in return for Louis Domingue, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.Leighton wasn't able to crack the Tampa Bay roster during his limited time there and heads west to likely serve as the minor-league goalie for the Coyotes as an insurance policy for Antti Raanta and Scott Wedgewood. The Coyotes organization will be the ninth one that Leighton has been a part of during his career, which generally speaks to the level of play that is expected out of him.

    Lightning's Michael Leighton: Takes preseason loss

    Michael Leighton allowed two goals on 22 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 preseason defeat to Carolina.The 36-year-old Leighton played the entirety of the contest against one of his many former teams. A career journeyman, Leighton was great with AHL Charlotte last season, posting a 2.17 GAA and .921 save percentage, and he should be a good depth option in the event that NHL goalies Andrei Vasilevskiy or Peter Budaj get hurt.
