Halverson was placed on waivers by the Stars on Tuesday, per James Mirtle of The Athletic. - Halverson signed a one-year deal with Dallas in the offseason. The 30-year-old netminder has been an effective backstop in the AHL each of the past two seasons, where he has earned at least 22 wins each year with the Syracuse Crunch. If he isn't claimed over the next 24 hours and clears waivers, he will likely be the No. 3 goaltending option in Dallas while playing with AHL Texas. |

Halverson was called up by Tampa Bay on Wednesday. - Halverson has a 2.39 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 42 outings with AHL Syracuse in 2025-26. He's also appeared in one game for Tampa Bay this season, but he logged just 0:06 of ice time in that Dec. 13 outing against the Islanders, and he didn't face a shot. Jonas Johansson missed Monday's game against Detroit due to an undisclosed injury, which prompted Tampa Bay to dress emergency backup goaltender Kyle Konin. It's unclear if Johansson is an option to play in Wednesday's home game against the Rangers, but Halverson's promotion suggests he might not be. It's also possible that Johansson is healthy, and Halverson is up to allow Andrei Vasilevskiy to take the Lightning's regular-season finale against New York off as a healthy scratch ahead of the playoffs. |

Halverson made a start with the Lightning in 2024-25, but he's unlikely to see significant time with the big club unless one of Andrei Vasilevskiy or Jonas Johansson is injured. |
