Clears waviersJohnson cleared waivers and was assigned to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

Moves to taxi squadO'Brien was assigned to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
ImpactO'Brien has dressed for the last three games, and he notched his first NHL point since the 2014-15 campaign when he set up J.T. Compher's goal Monday against the Wild. The 26-year-old O'Brien can continue practicing and traveling with the team while on the taxi squad.

Drops to taxi squadBurroughs was assigned to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
ImpactBurroughs made his season debut in Monday's 5-4 win over the Wild. His stay in the lineup could be short -- Bowen Byram could be available for Wednesday's game in Minnesota. If Byram can play, Burroughs will likely return to a depth role.

Might play WednesdayByram (concussion) skated Tuesday and has a chance to play in Wednesday's game versus the Wild, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.
ImpactByram has missed the last six games, but he's been on the ice for a few days now. The 19-year-old still needs to clear the league's concussion protocol. He's certainly trending in the right direction, so if he can't go Wednesday, Byram may be back for the weekend series against the Ducks.
