The door is open for Detroit Red Wings goalie Jack Campbell to get some playing time in the AHL.
Campbell cleared waivers on Monday.
On Sunday, Campbell was cleared to return from the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program and put on waivers by the Detroit Red Wings, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported.
The 32-year-old entered the program on Oct. 4 to receive care indefinitely.
In July, Detroit signed Campbell to a one-year contract worth $775,000. Before entering the Player Assistance Program, he appeared in one pre-season game for the Red Wings against the Buffalo Sabres, where he allowed two goals on 22 shots for a .909 save percentage in 24:46 of ice time.
The Michigan native made his NHL debut in 2013 after being selected in the first round (11th overall) by the Dallas Stars in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
The netminder, who has previously suited up for the Stars, the Los Angeles Kings, the Maple Leafs and the Edmonton Oilers, has made 176 career appearances since 2013, with a save percentage of .909.
Meanwhile, the Blues placed winger Kasperi Kapanen on waivers Monday. The former Maple Leaf and Pittsburgh Penguin has one goal in 10 games this season.
Kapanen is playing on a one-year, $1-million contract.
