BOSTON, Nov. 14 -- The Boston Bruins Tuesday claimed goaltender Peter Skudra off waivers from the Buffalo Sabres.
The Bruins originally signed Skudra to a one-year contract Oct. 3 as an unrestricted free agent.
In accordance with NHL regulations, the Bruins had to place Skudra on waivers since he was signed after the date of the NHL waiver draft. He was claimed Oct. 6 by Buffalo.
The Sabres assigned him to Rochester of the American Hockey League for a conditioning stint from Oct. 10-18 and he went 2-0-0 with a 2.50 goals against average and a .914 save percentage in two games with Rochester. He did not appear in a game with Buffalo this season.
Skudra played in 20 games with the Penguins last season, posting a 5-7-3 record and a 3.12 goals against average. His three-year NHL totals are 26-22-11 with a 2.65 goals against average and four shutouts in 74 career NHL games.
