Bruins claim ex-Red Wing Ferraro off waivers

The Detroit Red Wings placed Landon Ferraro on waivers Saturday -- and the Boston Bruins took advantage.

The Bruins claimed the 24-year-old forward off waivers today. Ferraro played in 10 games this season for the Red Wings and has no points, seven penalty minutes and a minus-3 rating.

Ferraro was coming off injured reserve with a lower body injury, but the Red Wings had no room for him on the roster.

"It's a situation where he's done a good job," Blashill told reporters Saturday. "But with our numbers, more forwards… we have to make a decision to try to send somebody potentially through waivers, so we decided on him."

The Wings selected Ferraro in the second round, 32nd overall, in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. He's played in 17 career games with the Wings over the past three seasons and has one goal and no assists.
