{allcanada} MAPLE LEAFS PLACE F DUPUIS ON WAIVERS

The Toronto Maple Leafs placed forward Philippe Dupuis on waivers Monday.

NHL clubs have until Tuesday at Noon et to make a claim on the forward. If he goes unclaimed, the Leafs can assign him to the Toronto Marlies of the AHL.

Dupuis was activated off injured reserve prior to the move, where he had been since Dec. 21 after suffering an upper-body injury.

The 26-year-old has been held without a point in 30 appearances with Toronto this season. The native of Laval, Quebec was signed by the Maple Leafs to a one-year deal as an unrestricted free agent last summer.

In 74 games last season for the Colorado Avalanche, Dupuis had six goals and 11 assists.
