The Arizona Coyotes placed forward Adam Ruzicka on unconditional waivers to terminate his contract after a questionable Instagram post showed him with a white powder, resembling cocaine. The 24-year-old Slovakian player's contract can be terminated once he clears waivers, but the NHL Players' Association could file a grievance on his behalf. This follows the Coyotes' termination of forward Alex Galchenyuk's contract in response to his arrest for a hit-and-run and disorderly conduct.
