Caps claim Kronwall off waivers from Leafs


Arlington, VA (Sports Network) - The Washington Capitals have claimed defenseman Staffan Kronwall off waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs, the club announced Friday.

Kronwall has spent all of this season with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League, posting seven goals and 18 assists in 42 games. He was the Marlies' highest-scoring defenseman.

The 26-year-old did not record a point in 18 games with Toronto last year, posting a minus-two rating. A ninth-round pick by the Maple Leafs in 2002, Kronwall has just one assist in 52 NHL games.
