Sharks Claim Leach Off Waivers from Canadiens

The San Jose Sharks have announced that they have claimed defenseman Jay Leach off waivers from the Montreal Canadiens. The Sharks make the third team Leach has played for so far this season, previously being claimed off waivers by the Canadiens from the New Jersey Devils in November. He has no points and five penalty minutes in seven games so far this season. This is really nothing more than a depth move for the Sharks to give them a little more experience and toughness on the blueline.
