Rangers Claim Vincent Iorio Off Waivers, Defenseman Joins First Practice

The New York Rangers have claimed defenseman Vincent Iorio off waivers from San Jose, with the 23-year-old participating in his first practice with the team on Monday. Iorio, a former 2021 second-round pick by Washington, appeared in 21 games with the Sharks this season, recording no goals, three assists, and a minus-4 rating. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity with the storied franchise and will be a restricted free agent after the season. Coach Mike Sullivan noted Iorio's decent puck skills and ability to move the puck.
