Cunningham Claimed Off Waivers
By Mark Allred
Yesterday, the Boston Bruins placed forward Craig Cunningham on waivers for the purpose of sending him to the Bruins top minor league affiliate, the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League. Cunningham was claimed by the Arizona Coyotes off of waivers moments ago.
Everyone on waivers cleared yesterday except for ARI's two claims -- McGinn from SJS and Cunningham from BOS. #tradecentre

Hate to see Craig Cunningham go, but this could be a good break for him. Should get a strong opportunity to be an NHL regular in Arizona.
