Goaltender Jack Campbell has been cleared to return from the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program and put on waivers by the Detroit Red Wings, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported Sunday.
The 32-year-old entered the program on Oct. 4. At the time, the former Toronto Maple Leafs star entered the program indefinitely to receive care. He is now eligible to resume playing.
In July, Detroit signed Campbell to a one-year contract with an average annual value of $775,000. Before entering the Player Assistance Program, he appeared in one pre-season game for the Red Wings against the Buffalo Sabres, where he allowed two goals on 22 shots for a .909 save percentage in 24:46 of ice time.
The Michigan native made his NHL debut in 2013 after being selected in the first round (11th overall) by the Dallas Stars in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
The netminder, who has previously suited up for the Stars, the Los Angeles Kings, the Maple Leafs and the Edmonton Oilers, has made 176 career appearances since 2013, with a save percentage of .909.
