Overview

  • The 23-year-old defenseman was claimed Saturday, a day after San Jose waived him for intended AHL reassignment.
  • New York created a roster spot by sending forward Brett Berard to AHL Hartford.
  • San Jose sought to clear room for impending returns from injured reserve, including Philipp Kurashev, Kiefer Sherwood and Shakir Mukhamadullin.
  • With the Sharks, Iorio appeared in 21 games with three assists and about 16:30 of ice time per game, and he posted seven assists in six AHL conditioning games.
  • It is his second waiver claim this season after Washington lost him in October, and he arrives on an entry-level contract around $814,000 that runs into RFA status as the Rangers retool following the Carson Soucy trade.
