Three players have been placed on NHL waivers today from the New York Islanders, the Utah Mammoth, as well as the Los Angeles Kings.

Goaltender Pheonix Copley of the Los Angeles Kings and Andrew Agozzino of the Utah Mammoth were the two players placed on waivers by Western Conference teams today.
Joining these players on the waiver wire was Marc Gatcomb of the New York Islanders. This information was first reported by NHL insider Elliotte Friedman.

Pheonix Copley has been living out of a suitcase over the last 3 weeks

It's been a whirlwind October for Copley, who was placed on waivers by the Kings on October 1st, where he was claimed by the Lightning, and then traded back to Los Angeles on October 15th for future considerations.
The Kings will again try to get Copley through to the minors with AHL Ontario if he goes unclaimed this time around, but if history proves anything, it won't be easy.
Despite his shuffles over the month of October, he hasn't appeared yet in an NHL game this year.
Turning our attention to Agozzino, he played in Utah's first two games of the season, but he's been a healthy scratch for the Mammoth for the last five games in a row. If he goes unclaimed, Agozzino will be reassigned to AHL Tucson.
Gatcomb earned an Opening Night roster spot but barely saw ice time over the first few weeks of the regular season, making only one appearance for New York.
If he clears waivers, he'll most likely head to AHL Bridgeport, where he should see more consistent ice time, which is likely what the team wants for him so that he can better develop his skills.
We will know in less than 24 hours whether any of these players get claimed by other teams around the league.
