The Winnipeg Jets placed Axel Jonsson-Fjallby on waivers on Monday per The Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli
Jonsson-Fjallby is being moved so that the Jets can make room for defenseman Dylan DeMelo back on the active roster. DeMelo has not played since January 26 due to a lower-body injury.
DeMelo skated in a full-contact jersey at practice on Monday, per The Winnipeg Free Press’s Mike McIntyre, and is expected to play Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken.
Joe Snively has been placed on waivers.
The Capitals made the move after making it known that they will be activating both Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson for Sunday’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Caps currently have a full 23-man roster which means two roster spots needed to be made available for both stars to make their season debuts.
