"Iorio spent over three months with the up-and-coming Sharks, suiting up in 21 games and recording three points - all assists. The Coquitlam, British Columbia native averaged 16:30 in ice time and was used mainly as a third-pairing defenseman. Iorio has been healthy-scratched the last six games as defenseman Vincent Desharnais returned to the lineup. Desharnais missed the previous seven weeks due to an elbow injury."
"Friday afternoon, the San Jose Sharks placed the 23-year-old defenseman on NHL waivers, per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. If the Capitals reclaim Iorio and are the only team to submit a waiver claim for him, they would be able to assign him directly to the AHL. Something to watch here. Vincent Iorio is on waivers today. If Caps put in a claim, and they're the only team to make a claim, he could come to Hershey. We will know more at 2pm tomorrow."
Vincent Iorio was placed on NHL waivers by the San Jose Sharks on Friday. The 23-year-old defenseman played 21 games for the Sharks, recording three assists and averaging 16:30 of ice time in a third-pairing role. Iorio has been healthy-scratched for six games after Vincent Desharnais returned from an elbow injury. If the Washington Capitals reclaim Iorio and are the sole claimant, the Capitals could assign him directly to the AHL Hershey Bears. The Sharks are managing multiple upper-body injuries and recently lost 4-3 in overtime to the Edmonton Oilers after leading 3-0. Iorio was originally claimed from the Capitals on October 16.
