NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) -- The Nashville Predators on Wednesday assigned Jed Ortmeyer to Milwaukee of the American Hockey League, after the right wing cleared waivers.
Ortmeyer has not played since sustaining a knee injury in February. He underwent surgery on the knee in March, but blood-clot problems have delayed his return.
The 30-year-old played in 51 games with the Predators last season, recording four goals and four assists.
Ortmeyer's assignment coincides with his activation from Nashville's non-roster list.
