It is possible for both Jagr and Jankowski to play tonight even though no one else has cleared waivers yet...

Such request shall be made in writing to Central Registry, with a copy to the NHLPA, all in accordance with Exhibit 3. Upon approval of the Commissioner, such "Player B" will be removed from the Club's Active Roster and the Club may replace such "Player B" with "Player A" on its Active Roster pending the expiration of the Waiver period set forth in Section 13.18.
During the period of time "Player B" is granted Non-Roster status, both "Player A's" and "Player B's" Player Salary and Bonuses are included in the Club's Actual and Averaged Club Salary and the Players' Share for purposes of Article 50. At the conclusion of the Waiver period for such "Player B," if he has not been claimed, the Club must immediately (i.e., that day) Loan "Player B" to the Minors.

They could place Glass or Hamilton on waivers and request non-roster status pending the clearance of waivers. If they did that, the player would be on tomorrow's waivers and would clear on Tuesday, and would have to be sent down immediately upon clearing.
It's probably not likely that they'd go this route, but it is one option that's available.
