30-year-old rejoins the Monsters after clearing waivers
The Columbus Blue Jackets announced they have assigned forward Brendan Gaunce to the Cleveland Monsters after he cleared waivers Monday.
Gaunce was fourth on the Monsters in scoring during the AHL regular season with 39 points despite playing only 46 games.
The 30-year-old played 24 games in the NHL for Columbus this season, registering four points in 24 games. He has 28 points in 177 career NHL games.
Gaunce will be a big offensive boost for the Monsters who are set to kick off their Eastern Conference Finals series against the defending Calder Cup champion Hershey Bears on Thursday.
