The San Jose Sharks placed forward Raffi Torres on waivers Friday, reports TSN's Bob McKenzie.
Torres has not played for the Sharks this season after receiving a 41-game suspension for delivering a head shot to Anaheim Ducks forward Jakob Silfverberg in the preseason. He also underwent knee surgery in December, extending his absence.
The 34-year-old did not record a point in three games during a conditioning stint with the AHL's San Jose Barracuda.
He has 137 goals and 123 assists in 635 career NHL games.
