Regula (knee) is still on season-opening injured reserve despite being waived by Boston and claimed by Edmonton on Wednesday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports Saturday.
An injured player usually can't be put on waivers, but Regula is a rare exception because he signed off on the move with the intent to complete his rehab with AHL Providence. Edmonton could rescind the claim on Regula because he's not healthy enough to play. However, the Oilers like Regula's upside and plan to keep him around. The 24-year-old defender had four goals, 26 points and 41 PIM in 55 regular-season appearances with Providence in 2023-24.

Oilers' Alec Regula: Claimed off waivers
Rotowire
Regula was claimed off waivers Wednesday by Edmonton from Boston.
Regula hasn't played yet in 2024-25 because of a knee injury. The 24-year-old defenseman had four goals, 26 points and 41 PIM in 55 regular-season appearances with AHL Providence. Given how much of the campaign Regula has missed, he might get into some practices with the Oilers before Edmonton considers putting him into a game. If he does play for Edmonton, it would probably be as a member of the third pairing.

Bruins' Alec Regula: Set to miss start of camp
Rotowire
Regula (lower body) is expected to miss the beginning of training camp, per Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal on Tuesday.
Regula is still working his way back from a lower-body procedure in the summer. The 24-year-old blueliner produced four goals and 26 points across 55 regular-season outings for AHL Providence in 2023-24. Regula will likely play most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Bruins' Alec Regula: Snags two-way deal
Rotowire
Regula signed a one-year, two-way contract with Boston on Friday.
Regula has logged just 22 NHL games, with the most recent outing coming during the 2022-23 campaign when he was with the Blackhawks. The fact that the 23-year-old defenseman racked up 26 points in 55 games for AHL Providence last year could earn him a look during training camp, but fantasy players should be expecting Regula to spend the bulk of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors with AHL Providence.

Blackhawks' Alec Regula: Scores first NHL goal
Rotowire
Regula scored his first career goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to Calgary.
Regula snuck a wrist shot through some traffic to register his first career point in his 13th NHL game. The 21-year-old Michigan native may not be the most exciting prospect in hockey, but Regula does offer some interesting upside for a 6-foot-4 defenseman. In 40 games with AHL Rockford, he logged four goals and 21 assists.
