Kolyachonok moved to Boston without any compensation. If there had been no claims, he would have been sent to Dallas's farm club.
This NHL season, the 23-year-old defenseman played 11 games for the "Stars", recorded 3 (1+2) points, and finished the segment with a plus-minus rating of "+3".
In total, Vladislav Kolyachonok has played 85 NHL games, representing "Arizona", "Utah", "Pittsburgh", and "Dallas". He has accumulated 17 (5+12) points.
The Belarusian defenseman's contract is valid until the end of the season with a salary of $775,000.
Currently, four defensemen are on Boston's injured list, which influenced the club's decision to strengthen its defense through waivers.
With 38 points in 33 games, Boston ranks eighth in the NHL's Eastern Conference.
This season, in addition to Kolyachonok, three other Belarusians are playing in the NHL: Alexey Protas ("Washington"), Yegor Sharangovich ("Calgary"), Artyom Leushunov ("Chicago"). Ilya Solovyov ("Colorado") and Nikita Tarapila ("Vancouver") were sent to the AHL by their respective clubs.
